 Our
teaching and learning methodology is student-centred
and active. You will receive practical training with
practising osteopaths. The high quality of our teaching
has been acknowledged by the Quality Assurance Agency
for Higher Education.
Osteopaths work in a variety of styles. Our objective
is to provide you with the tools to practise in your
own way, while fulfilling the criteria for professional
status.
In order to practice you will need to meet the Standard
of Proficiency laid down by the General Osteopathic
Council:
- The essential knowledge base.
- The practical, interpersonal, cognitive and key
transferable skills.
- The attitude of enquiry, professionalism, ethical
caring and respect that characterise a competent and
effective osteopath.
The M.Ost is designed to deliver these attributes.
From your first week you will be involved with patients
in the clinic, sitting in on consultations and before
long you will be taking responsibility for diagnosis
and treatment, supervised by experienced osteopathic
clinic tutors.
Our approach to teaching is personal and detailed.
For example the tutor/student ratio in technique classes
is around 1:8, with 1:1 tutoring in the clinic. We continuously
assess all aspects of the teaching and learning experience
and exploit the best of modern teaching methodologies.
