ISAO offers a structured, progressive curriculum designed to meet the different professional needs and experience levels of its students: a preparatory course for those without a degree in a health field, a three-year course for graduates in health and veterinary disciplines, and a specialist 15-month programme reserved for human osteopaths and veterinarians who want to apply and deepen osteopathy in the animal field.ISAO offers a structured, progressive curriculum designed to meet the different professional needs and experience levels of its students: a preparatory course for those without a degree in a health field, a three-year course for graduates in health and veterinary disciplines, and a specialist 15-month programme reserved for human osteopaths and veterinarians who want to apply and deepen osteopathy in the animal field.
ISAO’s teaching approach is grounded in the evolution of contemporary scientific and health paradigms, valuing osteopathy as a constantly growing discipline able to act in a targeted and informed way on animals’ functional balance, through a deep, integrated medicine oriented to the roots of life.ISAO’s teaching approach is grounded in the evolution of contemporary scientific and health paradigms, valuing osteopathy as a constantly growing discipline able to act in a targeted and informed way on animals’ functional balance, through a deep, integrated medicine oriented to the roots of life.
Otherwise, after an interview with the ISAO internal committee, human osteopaths and physiotherapists will only be required to attend the veterinary lessons included in the preparatory course.
At the end of the training path, which requires passing an exam at the end of each school year, students receive the professional qualification certificate, which allows them to practise in a way complementary to veterinary activity.
Istituto ISAO, a training centre accredited by the Veterinary Academy of Higher Learning, is a partner of Osteocan, O.C.A. and Thierphysio Wood. Our main sponsors include Royal Canin, Innovet Italia, the equine feed line Riso Sprint Scotti and the Municipality of Mantova.
