New Graduate Mentorship Program
The new graduate mentorship program is an opportunity for new graduates to connect with senior osteopaths, Canberra osteopathic clinics and each other. The program will help nurture and grow as you begin your osteopathic journey while also supporting each other.
Session Length
Sessions are for approximately 1.5 hours and may include a social catch up afterwards.
Session Location
We have five clinics volunteering their time to support the program. These clinics are located throughout Canberra and can be found in the clinic directory.
Session Topics
Topics vary from general osteopathy to specialty areas including paediatrics, cranial osteopathy, rule of the artery, respiratory osteopathy, women’s health and visceral osteopathy. Topics are broadly decided at the start of the year. They can be found in the program schedule. If you would like to suggest a topic, please don’t hesitate to reach out through the contact us page.
Session Schedule
Sessions are hosted on either a week night or a weekend and is up to the discretion of the organiser. Confirmation of dates and times are communicated through the website, email, messenger and the instagram page (in development).
CPD Summary Provided
At each session, the osteopathy Australia CPD evaluation is provided semi-filled ready for you to add it to your portfolio. The blank version can be found here.
