Question 9621 — health professions

Summary

The act of animal osteopathy is defined in article R. 243-6 of the rural and maritime fishing code which provides that "for the application of 12° of article L. 243-3, the term "act of animal osteopathy" means manipulations having the sole aim of preventing or treating functional disorders of the animal's body, excluding organic pathologies which require therapeutic, medical, surgical or medicinal intervention. or by physical agents. These manipulations are musculoskeletal and myofascial, exclusively manual and external. For the management of these functional disorders, people performing animal osteopathy acts perform non-instrumental, direct and indirect, non-forced manipulation and mobilization acts. » The knowledge and know-how necessary to master these skills as well as the modalities of organization of the test and the composition of the jury were specified by order of the Minister responsible for agriculture. To ensure the competence of people carrying out veterinary osteopathic procedures, an aptitude test consisting of an eligibility test and a practical test accessible after five years of higher education is planned under the control of the national council of the order of veterinarians. Regarding practitioners already in practice, article 2 of decree no. 2017-573 of April 19, 2017 relating to the skills required of people performing animal osteopathy acts provides that people with three years of higher education and professional practice of at least five years in animal osteopathy on the date of publication of the decree are exempt from the eligibility test but must pass the practical test at later on December 31, 2019. To organize the aptitude test, the national council of the order of veterinarians has set up a steering committee composed of veterinary and non-veterinary professional organizations and a committee of experts responsible for enlightening the steering committee on all questions relating to the knowledge and know-how necessary for mastering the skills required during the aptitude test. This This device makes it possible to relax access to the exercise of animal osteopathy acts previously reserved only for veterinarians and thus to remove the legal insecurity in which non-veterinarians carrying out animal osteopathy acts found themselves, until the intervention of these texts.
