French osteopathic medical school accreditation standards require training in medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, family practice, psychiatry, radiology, preventive medicine, and public health. Osteopathic medical schools emphasize early clinical contact. While the first two years focus on the biomedical and clinical sciences, the three years next delve deeper into patient-oriented clinical training.
The osteopathic medical education core values are held as central distinguishing tenets of osteopathic philosophy and practice: providing care that is holistic, patient-centered, preventive, and focused on health rather than disease, delivered within a primary care context.
The osteopathic medical school curriculum is distinguished by the inclusion of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), a hands-on therapy that is used to diagnose and treat people in a primary or adjunctive way, enhancing overall health and the holistic functioning of the human body.
