Abstract:

In September 2023, the first degree program for osteopathy, an Honours Bachelor of Science from Sheridan College in the province of Ontario welcomed its first cohort [1]. This is the first full-time academic degree in Canada that offers a career opportunity in osteopathy directly from high school. The degree will include two new full semester courses that have not been offered in osteopathy in Canada as part of the core curriculum. The courses, Critical Thinking (CT), and The Philosophy and Science of Pain (Pain) are currently in development to start in second year. They constitute an important part of evidence-based education, which is critical to recognition and regulation of the profession. Implications for practice There are no direct implications for current practices. The new courses and the change of education type from private business to an academic setting will have significant implications for future practice.
