The PG Diploma in Animal Osteopathy program has been developed for veterinarians (DVM/VMD) and veterinary students interested in expanding their practice to include osteopathic treatment for equine and canine patients.
The PG DipAO provides an opportunity to learn advanced palpatory, diagnostic, and osteopathic treatment skills in a program developed by osteopathic professionals for veterinary professionals. This comprehensive study delivers a solid body of knowledge in osteopathic thought and treatment of equines and canines. A self-paced, online learning format allows flexibility in earning your osteopathic qualification.
