Benefit of our services at Our Osteopathic Student Clinic in Toronto

The Student Clinic at the CCO focuses in teaching students how to conduct a consultation according to the specificity of osteopathy. The pedagogical goal of this training is to familiarize the students with the consultation protocol, and to provide appropriate treatment for each individual based on their needs.

Particular Objectives for our Students:

  • Develop a quality of presence and contact with a patient.
  • Develop a sense of ethics.
  • Foster the capacity to detect an emergency and do a referral when necessary.
  • Acquire a methodology to question the patient, perform appropriate assessment, palpate the different tissue fields and effectively do all the necessary tests in osteopathy.
  • Know how to value or prioritize the symptoms and clinical signs as well as clinical findings to build a treatment plan adapted to the condition of each patient.
  • Know how to effectively treat a patient using all the therapeutic resources of osteopathy available in each field.
  • Know how to verify one’s work and establish a prognosis.
  • Know how to provide appropriate self-care.
  • Accomplish various administrative tasks (appointment booking, files, etc.)
  • Throughout the clinical training, students are evaluated to ensure that they meet the required competencies in health history taking, assessment, and treatment.

Everyone can benefit from Osteopathy as taught by the CCO. It can be applied to alleviate pathologies and mechanical imbalances, and it can be used to remove restrictions in tissue, allowing a patient to become more mobile, healthier, and able to handle the stresses of everyday life.

Our osteopathic students, under the tutelage of the D.O.M.P. supervisor, can work on your body one system at a time, and then integrate the systemic changes throughout your entire body to allow for better health and better energy levels.

At the CCO Student Clinic, you can feel confident and secure that our students, under the supervision of a D.O.M.P., will provide you with high quality care.

Our students clinic typically runs on Tuesday and Wednesday (days may vary).
