Members do not see this ad.

I found this website www.ohwi.org which is run by a Nova Graduated DO who teaches osteopathy to "health professionals". Upon completion of 8 weekend course segments which run $8,000 you are granted a "Certificate of Manipulative Theory & Practice" which I guess somehow allows you to practice osteopathy? They say it is accredited by a holistic nursing association.


Is this for real? I cannot see how this would allow you to practice inside the US.

Sanet would teach a monkey OMT if the monkey could pay in cash rather than bananas.

Some people are out for the growth of the profession and betterment of patients.

Others are out for money, cash & hoes.

Just my humble opinion.

BTW, you dont need to be a physician in order to do all types of wacky holistic, manual healing, cranial, etc. You just need to be convincing enough so that someone will pay you. There are plenty of people out there who will pay for a Snickers bar enema if you told them it would help them lose weight. Sanet capitalizes on this laypersons ignorance and the greed of wannabe healers.

LOL, its worth clicking on that link to watch the snazzy intro page. The "intra-oral cranial" technique demo looks....interesting.

Seriously, how could anybody take this seriously. That was good entertainment however. The intro blew my mind...I'm quitting school and heading there right now!!! 🙄

Some people......

Is that degree equivilent to a osteopath degree in England? Could you bill insurance companies for this?

No. This "Degree" is equivalent to a nursing assistant or massage therapist doing some weekend courses at a community college.

Could you bill insurance companies for this?

I am sure there is a way. Unfortunate but true.

The fact that is says Nova should make a red flag go up.
