We are excited to announce that the National University of
Medical Sciences is partnering with the largest private medical university in
India to offer campus based osteopathy program.
After a year of communications about this academic venture
to introduce European style osteopathy to India, Professor Dr Narkeesh Arumugam
(physiotherapist, osteopath & head of the Department of Physiotherapy at
Punjabi University)and Dr Maneesh Arora (physiotherapist & chiropractor) have
travelled to Madrid, Spain to visit NUMSS campus in Madrid and to have further discussions
with NUMSS president, Dr Shahin Pourgol in regards to this academic
partnership.
NUMSS Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and the Doctor of
Osteopathy (DO) programs will soon be offered in India as a mix of online and
campus based programs.
These two programs will be available only to
physiotherapists. After completing the one to two years online DPT program of
NUMSS, Indian physiotherapists must also complete a six months onsite clinical
and practical training in one of the six hospitals & clinics approved in
India.
Those Indian physiotherapists who enrol in the Doctor of
Osteopathy program, upon completion of the online program offered by NUMSS must
complete one year of campus based on-site clinical and practical work in India.
Our goal has always been to expand osteopathy worldwide and
make sure that people in every corner of the world have access to this
wonderful health care. This academic
partnership brings us closer to our goal.
Osteopathy courses should be offered for Indian BAMS and MBBS doctors.
