Thank you for your interest in South Pointe Hospital’s Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (ONMM-3) program.

Potential candidates should apply for an audition rotation by using the form, at least six months in advance of their interested date. We accept auditioners throughout the year.

Audition rotations can be for two or four weeks.

Candidates' information will be reviewed by the program director. The program manager will contact the applicant for additional information and to notify you if we can schedule the dates you requested.

You do not need to audition to be considered for an interview. We will be accepting applications for residency via the ERAS website. We do not participate in the NRMP match. Interviews are held from October to December each year. Interview offers are given on a rolling basis.

Please note: Please be aware that the ONMM-3 program is considered a second residency, not a fellowship. You will need to obtain a token for ERAS from your medical school. ERAS applications open in September. Our sponsoring institution is the Cleveland Clinic.

As an ONMM-3 program, we are a one- year secondary residency. This means you must complete your initial residency by the time of the program start date.

To allow residents to fully complete their initial residency, our program start date is the first week of August.
