Two-Year Osteopath Diploma Program
Our diploma program in osteopathy combines a comprehensive blend of osteopathic philosophy, theory, methodology, technique and clinical application. The curriculum is presented under the guidance of the college’s faculty in a classroom setting.
Following an osteopathic directed overview of the relevant anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the area under study, a significant portion of each class is then devoted to the hands-on application, practice and reinforcement of osteopathic palpation coupled with the application of theory and relevant corresponding osteopathic therapeutic techniques.
The program consists of 1750 hours classroom study followed by 500 hours of supervised clinical internship, total 2250 hours, will be finished in two years in full time basis, or three to four years in part-time basis.
