HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The COE has been training osteopaths D.O. since 1987. According to national and European standards, our osteopaths are perceived as being high-grade practitioners.
Our college is European ; its implantation is central to the continent. It harbours two campuses, the first in France since 1987 and in Cergy-Pontoise as of  1995, and the second (the ECO) in Munich, Germany since 1989.

RECOGNITION

The Health Ministry has recognized the COE for its undergraduate degree since August 9th, 2007 and for its

health professional double degree since September 20th, 2007.

NOTORIETY

At the COE, our professional staff is frequently called upon when expertise is required in the fields of education, pedagogy, and research, as well as for issues concerning rules and regulation.
A most recent example of our involvement is the COE’s collaboration with the Union Fédérale des Ostéopathes de France (UFOF) and the Fédération Européenne des Ostéopathes (FEO) in elaborating education-based projects in osteopathy.
In 1998, our research department (AREDOE) worked alongside the European Commission COST B4 to publish a literature and evaluation review for osteopathy-related clinical and fundamental studies in Europe.
The COE was congratulated by the UFOF by being awarded the Prix Régis Godefroy 1996, to acclaim a rigorous clinical research pertaining to “Osteopathic Treatment for Chronic Lumbagos”.
Our college also takes part in national and European professional colloquiums, on a regular basis.
The COE conceived of a concept dubbed ECO-MEDECINE. To this day, we continue to uphold its growth.
A partnership with the René Descartes University of Psychology, Paris V has enabled students to access a University Diploma in psychosomatics.
