RMIT's combination of the three-year Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Osteopathy) and the two-year Master of Clinical Osteopathy provides a comprehensive education in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, ensuring you are thoroughly prepared to become an osteopath.

 

Osteopaths train in diagnosis, management and treatment of musculoskeletal pain disorders. They advise on exercise, rehabilitation and lifestyle management, and perform manual therapy techniques.

 

As an osteopath, you will make treatment decisions that depend on the patient as well as their condition. This means combining conventional medical testing procedures and skills of palpation and motion testing to inform your clinical rationale for treating a patient's condition.
