Education Highlights
• OPTI affiliation. The program is now affiliated with HEARTland Osteopathic Postgraduate
Training Institute (OPTI) at Des Moines University-School of Osteopathic Medicine (DMU).
Program faculty and/or staff have participated in collaborative training activities at DMU and
OPTI board meetings. All osteopathic residency programs are required to be affiliated with an
OPTI accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).
• Statewide manipulation training clinics. The program launched manipulation training
clinics at each residency clinic last year. These clinics supplement the hands-on osteopathic
manipulation therapy (OMT) instruction offered at three annual OMT workshops.
• New chief residents. The program established osteopathic chief resident roles last year.
Last year’s chief residents (Amy Ewan, DO, [Wausau] and Cheryl Gupta, DO, [Milwaukee])
participated in the HEARTland OPTI resident committee, and attended biannual HEARTland
board of directors/resident education day activities.
• Program calendar and manual. The program developed an annual residency planning
calendar, and is working on an osteopathic residency manual for residents, education
coordinators, and faculty.
