An Overview of NUMSS Admissions to Doctor of Philosophy in Osteopathic Clinical Rehabilitation PhD (OCR) Program
Thank you for your interest in the two years full time (four semesters) online on-demand Osteopathic Clinical Rehabilitation degree program of National University of Medical Sciences. Our Admissions department is eager to help you in any way we can. We invite you to contact NUMSS and ask us any questions you may have. All Osteopathic Clinical Rehabilitation classes are online & in English. The lectures are available on-demand online through internet or they may be watched on a TV screen by using a portable hard drive that could be shipped to students. Campus attendance is not required for the PhD (OCR) program and students from every corner of the world are eligible to apply and study at the comfort of their homes. However students who wish to practice practical techniques under supervision of a clinician have the choice of attending the optional week long practical techniques review at Madrid, Spain once per semester. The practical lab is not part of the PhD (OCR) program and students can graduate without attending the lab. Attendance is not mandatory.
Why Study Osteopathic Clinical Rehabilitation?
This doctoral program produces osteopaths who have acquired advanced clinical knowledge from careful observation and deduction; learned to test these deductions by experimentation and questioning; and applied these skills and knowledge to the practice and teaching of European style osteopathy.
This program emphasizes academics, teaching, research, publication, and advanced clinical training and experience. The program develops osteopathic clinicians, researchers, and scholars capable of participating in a multidisciplinary environment.
