Welcome to OSEAN
During the past decade Osteopathy in Europe has been expanding at an enormous speed. While it has been legally recognized in a few countries, the standards for training and practice are still different throughout Europe.
OSEAN's objectives are to promote cooperation in Osteopathic Education and to develop a common core curriculum for part-time and full-time schools throughout Europe.
 
Mission Statement

OSEAN is composed of like-minded osteopathic educational institutions with a common mission which may be summarised as follows:

  • To develop a rigorous and standardised model of osteopathic education throughout Europe
  • To ensure that in every country osteopathic educational establishments possess a comparable resource base
  • To establish and develop common research streams
  • To develop active scientific, academic and professional communication links – essential for the development of osteopathy, both as an independent, clearly identifiable entity, and in its relationship with other professions in the health care sector
  • To achieve for osteopathy academic recognition in all countries

(Achievement of professional recognition is beyond the present scope of OSEAN, but academic recognition is a necessary first step).
