Canadian Accreditation Information for our Courses with Various 

Associations and Governing Bodies 

Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners OOA/  OSTCAN

In December 2023 the Executive Director Serge S. Micheli wrote to us last year to update us on their CEU approach for members: "OAO does not have an accreditation system for evaluating institutions or course offerings. The Board removed the endorsement program, because it was not possible for the education committee to attend course offerings to evaluate them firsthand and provide recommendations back to the OAO Board of Directors for endorsements.   The CPD Policy provides the information on earning CEUs and hours awarded for attending educational offerings. Members are aware of the CPD Policy and can contact us at any time if they have any questions. "

Canadian Athletic Therapy Association CATA

The following courses fall within the scope of Athletic Therapists in Canada and are currently accredited by CATA: "Treating Female Pelvic Pain Through the UroGenital System" "Treating the Obstetrical Patient Throughout all of the Stages of Pregnancy" "Fundamentals of Cranial Osteopathy Part 1. Understanding & Assessing the Cranial Mechanism".  In January 2024, CATA created a new system where our courses are valued at 0.4 units/contact hour whether in person or live. This is twice the value of non-approved courses.  In 2024, CATA's new policy for approved CEU providers is that all of our courses will be approved.  CATA members are therefore free to chose from among all of our courses listed in the CATA collection of our online learning platform, as we consider them to be appropriate for Athletic Therapists (without the pre-requisite of being an Osteopath) and within their scope of practice.  Click here to visit the CATA collection page.

Theory Hours versus Hands-On Practice Hours 

 

Many Practitioners are not aware of how their association or regulating body accredits hands-on practice hours versus theory study hours for online courses. All of our courses have a theory portion and a hands-on practice portion. The hands-on practice portion of our online courses are equivalent to any hands-on practice you would have done in a classroom setting, This means you can still fulfill your hands-on practice requirements of CEUs with any of our online courses.
