Osteopathic Training
All osteopaths in the UK have completed rigorous training. The training is similar to a medical degree, with more emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine. Students of osteopathy follow a four or five year degree course, during which they study anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, nutrition, psychology and biomechanics. Qualification generally takes the form of a bachelor's degree in osteopathy (BSc(Hons)/BOst) or a masters degree in osteopathy (MOst).
