The
Program
Course overview
A part-time osteopathic training course in an international institute.
If you are considering becoming an osteopath and want to study part-time, the European College of Osteopathic Medicine is the ideal place. We offer the flexibility to help people find a new and brighter future.
The program presented is based on tutor guided time – home studies and distance education are not included and need to be considered.
The program is designed according to a proven and successful method, used since many years at IOB. Approved by the Ministry of Health in France we can guarantee top quality and a well tried-out program, designed for Osteopaths with high standards.
700 hours of instructor guided education each year gives you a solid ground to become a self-reliance osteopath with 1000 clinic hours when you graduate.
7O HOURS A MONTH OVER 10 MONTHS PER YEAR.
September to June is the time on campus.
The 70 hours are spread over 10 days per month and run from Monday to Wednesday.
The program is designed to minimize travel costs by grouping the days into a single time period each month. Students thus have 20 days at home with their families and can always work part-time if necessary.
In year 5, we offer a year of “specialization”. Students then choose a specialization: Animal Osteopathy (horses and dogs), craniomandibular specialization, obstetrics specialization or sports medicine.
Home study time and distance learning are not included and should be taken into account.
Each year, interactions between the 2 schools will be set up in order to create real exchanges in relation to teaching and research in the spirit of osteopathy.
