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. |

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).
