Course Overview

The primary aim of the course is to provide structured learning opportunities to enable you to become a safe, capable, reflective osteopathic practitioner who is committed to ethical, evidence-based practice and lifelong learning. The LSO courses are well established and are constantly updated to reflect advances in the profession. They contain exactly what you need to become an independent practicing osteopath. Your journey will incorporate basic and applied sciences, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Your osteopathic learning starts from day one and a wide range of theories, models and approaches are taught throughout the course. Clinical relevance is always paramount and is enhanced by integration in the clinic from the first year. Research is an integral part of any degree and is particularly relevant to an emerging health profession. You're encouraged to select a topic of personal interest which you'll develop into a dissertation in the final stages of the course. Underpinning academic learning are personal and professional skills such as communication, problem-solving, analysis, critical reflection, and self-awareness. Business skills are also a core part of the curriculum.
