About the College
The London College of Osteopathic Medicine (LCOM) was founded in 1946 to provide training in osteopathic principles and methods for people who were already qualified medical doctors.
Those in training spend over 80% of that time is treating patients in
the Clinic under the close supervision of tutors who are qualified osteopaths,
registered with the General Osteopathic Council, most of whom are graduates
of the College themselves and are therefore also medically qualified.
The College is recognised by the General Osteopathic Council and so its
graduates are eligible to be fully registered osteopaths.
LCOM's Objective
To provide training in osteopathic theory and practice, and supervised clinical experience, sufficient to enable doctors to function as osteopathic physicians in a medical specialist role, and to foster learning that will enable them to contribute to the needs of osteopathic research and education.
