Getting your hands-on OMT course approved by AOBFP in five easy steps
OMT is a defining skill for osteopathic family physicians, and offering an AOBFP-approved hands-on course helps diplomates meet the Component 3 requirement to maintain the OMT designation.
Diplomates must complete eight (8) hours of AOBFP-approved OMT hands-on training or pass the OMT performance exam every nine years, plus complete an OMT longitudinal assessment module every three years. Pre-approval of your course ensures participants can apply those hours toward OCC requirements.
Step 1: Confirm the requirements & course design
- Decide whether your program will be a full 8-hour course or a shorter module that combines with others.
- Review AOBFP Component 3 rules to ensure alignment with OCC pathways.
Step 2: Review application materials & templates
- Review the AOBFP Approved Provider Application, OMT course template and frequently asked questions.
- These outline exactly what’s required (agenda, faculty ratio and qualifications, learner assessment, etc.).
Step 3: Develop course content & documentation
- Use the AOBFP template to create objectives, hands-on practice activities and competency-focused instruction.
- Prepare supporting documents: agenda, technique list, presentation slides, outcomes, small-group ratios, faculty CVs, learner assessment tools and evaluation forms.
Step 4: Submit application & respond to feedback
- Complete the Approved Provider Application and attach your course materials.
- AOBFP will review your submission and may request clarifications or revisions.
- Provide presentation slides and verify faculty OMT credentials.
- Provide AOBFP with course registration link for website.
Step 5: Deliver, document & maintain records
- Run the course, keeping attendance records, assessment forms and completion certificates.
- Submit course attendance roster to AOBFP.
- Retain documentation for OCC verification.
- Reapply if you make substantial changes to content, format or faculty.
All courses submitted for consideration by the AOBFP should be designed for practicing osteopathic family physicians who want to improve their skills in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Your course should follow the course outline template below:
