Thank you for your interest in the doctor of osteopathy (DO) degree program of National University of Medical Sciences (Spain). The DO program is offered online worldwide. Our Admissions department is eager to help you in any way we can. We invite you to contact NUMSS  ([email protected]) and ask us any questions you may have. All osteopathy classes are online & in English. The video lectures are available on-demand online through internet or they may be watched on a TV screen by using a portable hard drive that could be shipped to students. Students from every corner of the world are eligible to apply and study at the comfort of their homes. However students who wish to practice osteopathic techniques under supervision of an osteopath have the choice of attending the optional week long practical techniques review at Madrid, Spain, or a number of other cities once per semester. The practical lab is not mandatory and students can graduate without attending the lab. NUMSS (Spain) DO students and graduates can join many associations and are eligible to work in all countries including USA, Canada, Spain, Italy and elsewhere. However in Canada & USA our graduates work as “osteopathic manual practitioners” or “manual osteopaths” as in these two countries the term “osteopath” is reserved for American style osteopathic physicians who perform surgery and prescribe medications (we teach European style osteopathy, no surgery, no medications, hands-on work only). NUMSS (Spain) students in Canada and some other countries are eligible to receive tuition and textbooks tax credit from their tax authorities as we are accepted as a foreign university by the Canadian government as well as a number of other countries. Students from most other countries are eligible to use the tuition as a business expense to reduce their annual business income tax.
