Years, full time
School of osteopathy · Paris · Since 2000
Five years. Sixty places. One pair of hands: yours.
Five years, full time. 1,320 hours in our own clinic. Sixty places each September.
See the programmeWe don't lecture. We put a body in front of you and watch your hands.
Osteopathy is not learned from slides. From the first term you work in pairs, then on volunteers, then on patients in our own teaching clinic.
Fifty-two teachers, all of them still in practice. Cohorts of sixty, split into groups of twelve for every practical session, so nobody watches from the back.
Five years, one diploma, no shortcut.
