Ontario Osteopathic Association OOA
The OFOP refuses to consider accrediting courses that are not offered by their own schools. We consider this approach to be shameful, since it does not encourage their members to broaden their horizons in terms of acquiring new knowledge and skills from outside of their own organizations. Happily, several of their members have taken our courses for the knowledge and skill they acquired with us, and have even brought some of their colleagues along who also sent on to take our courses.
