About the Pre-Osteopathy Program

On Campus

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine use a unique whole-person approach to help prevent illness and injury. DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Emphasizing a whole-person approach to treatment and care, DOs are trained to listen and partner with their patients to help them get healthy and stay well.

DOs receive special training in the musculoskeletal system, your body’s interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones. By combining this knowledge with the latest advances in medical technology, they offer patients the most comprehensive care available in medicine today. The Pre-Osteopathy program at 体育菠菜大平台 will prepare you for higher education in the field.
