4,000+ hours of training | 127 credits | 100% in-person learning Teaching Clinic integrated into the curriculum | Internships and partnerships | Final Research Project
Upon completion of this full-time osteopathy program, students will have accumulated more than 4,000 hours of training combining theoretical instruction, supervised practice, teaching clinic experience, internships, and a final research project. Students may choose to complete an additional year dedicated exclusively to their final research project, bringing the total program duration to 5 years. This training volume is consistent with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the guidance issued by the Quebec Office of Professions (OPQ). Subject to the applicable admission requirements, fourth-year students may also obtain Intern Osteopath (IO) status and practice outside the school setting.
A progressive path toward professional practice
The 4-year full-time program enables students to progressively acquire the foundational knowledge, technical competencies, and clinical reasoning skills required for the practice of osteopathy.

Year 5
The fifth year is exclusively dedicated to the completion of the end-of-study thesis (students who have chosen to complete their program in 4 years will need to prepare their thesis while taking 4th-year courses).
During this 5th year, your status as an Osteopathy Intern also allows you to practice osteopathy outside the school (multidisciplinary clinic, home office, etc.).
At the end of the 4th year for students who have chosen the 4-year program: the thesis is then written in parallel with the completion of the final year courses.
At the end of the 5th year for those who have chosen the 5-year program: in this case, the 5th year is exclusively dedicated to the completion of the thesis.
At the end of the 7th year for those who have chosen the 7-year program.
