The only way to practise osteopathic services in the province of New Brunswick is to be part of the College of Osteopaths of New Brunswick. It is also the only way to use the Osteopath Title protected by law in the province and bill insurance companies.
Our mission is to encourage systems of education and regulation that will ensure high standards for safe and effective health care from osteopaths in New Brunswick. Professionals who practice the art and science of osteopathy and who have had complete education allowing them to take responsibility for the overall care of a patient’s health can request to become a member of the CONB.
The CONB requires the applicant to meet or exceed the benchmark guidelines for osteopathy education as outlined by the World Health Organization, “Benchmarks for Training in Osteopathy” (ex: minimum of 4200 hours with at least 1000 hours supervised clinical training for students with no prior training in healthcare).
