Welcome

Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institute (OPTI)

An OPTI is a consortium of an osteopathic medical school and one or more teaching hospitals, the purpose of which is to establish a stronger and higher quality of postdoctoral training than can be realized by the individual institutions. The OPTI concept was mandated by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and its Council on Postdoctoral Training (COPT). The AOA required that all osteopathic postdoctoral training programs be a member of an OPTI by July 1999.
