Director's Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to the UConn Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine Residency Program!

Our program reflects a commitment to mastery – striving for meaningful, immediate impact in the practice of Osteopathy. We encourage residents to critically explore and test ideas from Osteopathic masters while building a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, physical exam skills, musculoskeletal screening, diagnostic imaging and Osteopathic techniques.

As your skills grow, you will gain confidence and independence, developing a deeper understanding of Osteopathic Medicine. We focus on preparing residents for success in both inpatient and outpatient settings, equipping you with the tools to run a practice and contribute meaningfully to the Osteopathic community. Opportunities to develop leadership, teaching, public speaking, research, MSK ultrasound and digital communication skills are tailored to your interests and strengths.

I am passionate about the future of Osteopathy and excited to help guide the next generation of leaders in our profession!

Sincerely,

Tricia Hall, DO
