CAO students are not simply handed a diploma at the end of their studies; they are tested and evaluated continuously throughout every phase of the program to ensure their mastery of osteopathic principles and methods. The result is a graduate who has demonstrated academic excellence, technical skill, and deep clinical understanding.
But excellence doesn’t end at graduation. The practitioners in this directory are committed to lifelong learning. Many continue to return to the CAO through its postgraduate division — the Institute of Advanced Osteopathic Studies — to refine their skills and stay current with evolving osteopathic approaches. This means you are not just finding any osteopathy provider — you’re connecting with a professional who is dedicated to delivering exceptional care rooted in tradition, science, and ongoing education.
