Abstract
European core curriculum “Manual Medicine”
Highlights
In the course of the time, various models and techniques were included and different schools developed outside the USA, for example in France, Great Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Scandinavia, Czech Republic and Australia
Many of the osteopathic or chiropractic techniques can be effectively applied by physicians and are based on theoretical models derived from anatomy, biomechanics and neurophysiology
Following the Bologna process in Europe, this higher medical training in Manual Medicine requires a total volume of 30 European credit transfer system (ECTS)
Summary
The professional training facilities for this course have to provide appropriate rooms for the theoretical lectures as well as exercise rooms with height-adjustable treatment tables. Following the theoretical introduction and the clarification of indications and contraindications which set off each section, special emphasis is placed on the practical instructions of the previously taught manual examination and treatment techniques. Before the students begin to practice these techniques, they are demonstrated by the course manager or the teacher who will supervise them during the exercises. The course manager and the teacher must have advanced experience in manual medicine practices. They are obliged to regularly participate in especially designated continuing education courses for teachers. If available, corresponding recommendations for the continuing medical education of physicians by the local or national authorities have to be respected
