A strong educational project for our osteopathy school

Le programme pédagogique de l’IEOQ offre une formation théorique et pratique en 4 ou 5 ans pour devenir ostéopathe, répondant aux critères des standards de référence anglosaxon et européen (préconisés par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé). Notre objectif est ainsi d’anticiper les exigences du futur Ordre des ostéopathes du Québec en termes de rigueur et de sérieux. The educational program at IEOQ offers theoretical and practical training over 4 or 5 years to become an osteopath, meeting the criteria of Anglo-Saxon and European reference standards (recommended by the World Health Organization). Our goal is to anticipate the requirements of the future order of osteopaths of Quebec in terms of rigor and seriousness. The curriculum is based on solid scientific and medical knowledge, as well as regular and sustained practice of osteopathy. Our mission is to train autonomous practitioners capable of taking care of clients independently or in a clinic, and knowing how to collaborate effectively with other healthcare professionals. The richness of the support provided at IEOQ also lies in the multidisciplinary nature of the teaching team, composed of therapist-professors with diverse academic backgrounds and expertise.

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.).
