Question 11155 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Éric Pauget draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the prescription of osteopathic procedures. He points out that osteopaths who are not health professionals (i.e. 15,000 people in France) have not followed a real medical course. In fact, the latter follow theoretical training but do not carry out "practical clinical practice", the minimum duration of study being 4,860 hours spread over 5 years, whereas a doctor in medicine follows training lasting from 9 to 15 years which ultimately allows him to hold a state diploma. With the quality and relevance of care rightly at the heart of the national health strategy, he asks whether it makes sense for someone who has not studied medicine to be empowered to make a primary diagnosis.
