In the United States, there are no schools of Osteopathic
Medicine that have "Holistic Medicine" or "Alternative Medicine" as any
significant part of the curriculum. Allopathic (drugs & surgery) Medicine
is taught at these schools along with Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy.
Compared to M.D. training, there is a slight extra emphasis on looking at
the whole person and the possible cause of a disease. While these are
all fine colleges to study Allopathic (drugs & surgery) Medicine, they are not useful for
learning Holistic Medicine.
The Holistic Medicine Resource Center makes the following recommendations
for persons in the United States:
- Students interested in treating patients using Holistic Medicine
techniques should consider studying:

Medicine practice are better off studying one of the above-mentioned
systems of medicine.
- Current students and current practitioners of Osteopathic Medicine
who went to school in the United States can begin to expand their practice
to include Holistic Medicine techniques by:
Choosing other
Holistic Medicine Healing Modalities/Techniques to add to one's practice
and taking courses to learn these techniques.
