They will benefit from clinical teaching in the IOE educational clinic in Bordeaux, France, as well as in international partner clinics, medical centres and research laboratories, providing an unrivalled and comprehensive training programme.
Those graduating from the programme will be able to integrate into the medical world through an interdisciplinary practice, and address all sectors of health: Paediatrics, Neurology, Rheumatology, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics, Gastroenterology, Otolaryngology, Orthodontics, and Clinical Research.
Professor Bob Fern, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health at the University of Plymouth, said: “As a significant provider of healthcare training, we are always looking for ways to expand our expertise. This new venture with International Osteopathic Education complements our existing academic programmes, and enables us to expand our health offering both geographically and into new areas of specialisation. I am excited to see this new partnership allowing students from across Europe and beyond to achieve a high-quality education.”
Dr Vincent Staf, Head of Studies at International Osteopathic Education in France, said: “The Master of Osteopathic Medicine program, developed by the University of Plymouth and International Osteopathic Education, is the result of more than 20 years of experience in osteopathic training in France, Europe, and beyond. This integrated University Master's degree is unique in both its design and its educational engineering. It offers students specialized expertise in clinical learning and in the research of etiological factors of functional and systemic pathologies.
“IOE and the University of Plymouth worked for more than two years to develop this project, enabling students passionate about Osteopathy to join our institutions, regardless of their country or continent. We are very proud to participate in this unprecedented evolution of osteopathy in an internationally recognized university setting.”
The MOstM is an Integrated Masters programme features a training model and teaching units that meet the international standards for Osteopathy training.
Although it doesn’t result in specific registration, the qualification is designed to enable graduates to treat all types of conditions, and it is envisaged they will be able apply to a regulator and then choose from a choice of locations where they can work.
Students will learn the fundamentals of human health, with the course covering elements of physiology, anatomy, biomechanics and clinical examinations.
They will also develop detailed understanding of osteopathic tests, techniques and treatments and how to use them correctly in the clinical setting.
Taken together, this will enable them to become responsible primary care practitioners, able to manage a variety of pathologies thanks to their expertise and clinical skills.

Reducing irrigation for livestock feed crops is needed to save Great Salt Lake, study argues
2025-01-07
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Great Salt Lake has lost more than 15 billion cubic yards of water over the past three decades, is getting shallower at the rate of 4 inches a year, and an analysis of its water budget suggests reducing irrigation is necessary for saving it.
The study published today in Environmental Challenges shows that 62% of the river water bound for the lake is diverted for human uses, with agricultural activities responsible for nearly three-quarters of that percentage.
“The research highlights the alarming role of water consumption for feeding livestock in driving the lake’s rapid depletion,” said co-author ...
Clean energy tax credit safeguards could save taxpayers $1 trillion
2025-01-07
A new study published today in IOP Publishing’s journal Environmental Research: Energy shows why new safeguards adopted by the U.S. Treasury Department are necessary to avoid substantial climate impacts and wasted taxpayer resources from a generous hydrogen production tax credit.
The new study illustrates how, absent safeguards, hydrogen producers could potentially claim the highest level of tax credits ($3 per kilogram) for producing "gray" hydrogen from fossil natural gas, by blending in small amounts of biomethane or waste methane. ...
