- Be inspired by the spirit of osteopathy
- Acquire a better understanding of osteopathic principles and practices
- To foster in themselves and others, a clear concept of the clinical application of osteopathic principles and practices in health and disease
Membership serves to broaden and expand students’ understanding of the osteopathic concepts in practice.
