Thomas Cornet
 
D.O.
Thomas Cornet D.O.   My name is Thomas Cornet, I’m 23 years old and I graduated osteopathic school in June 2021. Today, I’m practicing in two different offices in Brittany, France.
I've really been interested in pedagogy for two years now, because of the complexity that it involves. This has led me to sign up for a postgraduate diploma in medical pedagogy at the Université de Bretagne Occidentale, last October. This program really helps to understand how to teach students to develop their knowledge and clinical skills. What interest me the most about pedagogy are the students’ commitment to courses, anatomy lessons and the balance between “traditional” osteopathy and evidence-based practice in the curriculum. Regarding my personal research, I’m focusing on sports osteopathy and the evidence based approach to pain.

What has always struck me about this profession is the patient-centered approach in its uniqueness and complexity; the patient is not a pathology to be cured but a person to be looked at, and for this reason it’s important to investigate all different aspects that may contribute to the establishment and maintenance of his pain: the organic, environmental and bio-psycho-social components.
Now I work in an osteopathic studio in Varese and I’m a teaching assistant of Principles of Structural Osteopathy course at the Accademia Italiana di Medicina Osteopatica.
I believe that humanity, empathy and insatiable curiosity are the fundamentals in my daily choice of a profession that looks at the person as a whole.
