We also like to support our students after they graduate, which is why we actively encourage those who want to join us for teacher training or as international associates. In addition, it is our mission, to be all encompassing. To embrace specialists from all areas of veterinary medicine, so that our community can provide world class education to students, professionals and owners wherever they live.
As an organisation, we want to educate those who wish to learn and that is why we open our arms to a range of professionals. Our aim is not to saturate markets with more base-level therapists, but rather to create a network of highly trained practitioners, who can work together to make a difference. Additionally, with the same intent, we encourage likeminded professionals and other academic institutes to join us, so that together, we can support the wider network of animal related projects. In this way, we can collectively make a difference to the lives of so many animals. Not only those we can treat but also those who need to be protected.
From a practitioner perspective, we want to inspire veterinarians and animal practitioners to keep on learning. Not to stop at the first post. A postgraduate certificate is a great achievement, but like passing a driving test, it is just the start. That is why we offer a range of high quality courses for all levels of interest. Run by people who excel at what they do.
Our Academic Pathway is validated by the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Kent. The school for whom AOI’s Executive Head had first written and led 2 Postgraduate Certificates in canine and equine osteopathy, a Postgraduate Diploma in Animal Osteopathy and an MSc. Animal Osteopathy. The ESO is one of the largest osteopathic schools in Europe. For more information, go to their website.
Lastly, we like to be clear that AOI sits within the modern and progressive camp of education. Actively encouraging well-rounded graduates with a wealth of life and professional skills. With so few countries regulating animal osteopathy, the need for expensive university degrees is not yet a universal expectation. We have therefore decided that whilst our programme is every bit as rigorous as a degree or master’s programme, we do not feel the need to function through a single university. University validation is extremely expensive and very hard to align internationally, so AOI currently focuses on quality, investing its money in its programmes, faculty, students and alumni.
