The Mountain State OPTI

Mountain State Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institutions, Inc.(MSOPTI) or Mountain State OPTI was accredited by the American Osteopathic Association in June, 1999.

The consortium is comprised of a central member, the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, located in Lewisburg, West Virginia, and its partner hospitals. See Affiliated Hospitals for a list and locations of the MSOPTI partners.

  • traditional osteopathic internship programs, and residency programs in:
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Family Medicine
    • Internal Medicine
    • Combined Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine
    • Occupational - Enviromental Medicine
    • Pediatrics 
    • Urological Surgery

The consortium aims to establish additional primary care residencies and to expand the consortium by exploring potential new training sites.
