Question 11153 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Sébastien Leclerc draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the practice of osteopathy in France. Osteopaths who are doctors of medicine are the only ones among the three types of osteopaths (paramedical osteopaths and non-health professional osteopaths) who benefit from the state diploma at the end of a long course ranging from 9 to 15 years, unlike the other two types of osteopaths. So, they are the only ones who can provide a real, secure medical diagnosis for the patient. However, the mention “DO” (graduate in osteopathy) from which non-health professionals benefit and which appears on professional plates sometimes suggests that the professional is a “doctor in osteopathy” when he or she is qualified in osteopathy. He asks her to tell him her position on the matter.
