The osteopathic teaching program at Capital Region has provided excellence in training and preparation of doctors for over 50 years. In 1952, Charles E. Still Osteopathic Hospital (Capital Region is the product of a merger between Still Hospital and Memorial Community Hospital), began its teaching program welcoming medical students and interns to continue on their path to becoming physicians.

Mission
Capital Region is committed to providing educational programs for clinical and didactic experiences for pre and postdoctoral training. Supporting the mission of the American Osteopathic Association and the Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institute of Kirksville, Capital Region offers programs with clear purpose.

To advance the philosophy and practice of osteopathic medicine by promoting excellence in education, research, and the delivery of quality, cost-effective healthcare within a distinct, unified profession.

- American Osteopathic Association Mission

The Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institute of Kirksville (OPTIK) is a consortium of teaching hospitals and private practitioners who have partnered with Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in pursuit of excellence in internship and residency training.

           
Medical Students
Located in the heart of Missouri, Capital Region welcomes medical students from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine and University of Health Sciences, Kansas City, Missouri to complete their clinical rotations during their 3rd and 4th years of medical school.

Rotations in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, and Family Practice are just a few of the requirements of their medical school training, which can be completed here at Capital Region.

Interns
After graduation from medical school, their first year post-graduate training is an Internship. Capital Region has trained interns since 1952. They must complete one year of rotation requirements established by the American Osteopathic Association.

Residency

In 1988 Capital Region accepted its first Family Practice resident. Since then the program has offered one-on-one guidance and the opportunity to become fully integrated into culture at Capital Region. The Family Practice residency is unopposed, giving residents a great deal of hands on experience, no need to wait in line to perform procedures.

The mission of our program is to train capable, compassionate family physicians in an environment of mutual respect based in real-world experiences. We reinforce values of ethical practice, community orientation, personal/professional balance, and lifelong learning.

We invite you come train with us at Capital Region’s Family Medicine Residency Program. Please check out our site and learn why we've earned this strong reputation.

 “My experience at Capital Region has been very fulfilling. Jefferson City is my home town, so I see a familiar face or two on a daily basis. I am glad I can get expert training right here at home. I look forward to carrying forward with what I have learned in my own practice.”
