The CSO's principal program combines a comprehensive blend of osteopathic philosophy, theory, methodology, assessment, technique, clinical application —each of which is introduced in a progressive and cumulative manner.

Our osteopathic program is a part-time, in-class program for health professionals.
- The entire training program takes 4 years and a half.
- Our students graduate with a D.O.M.P. (Diploma in Osteopathy Manual Practice)
