Abstract
Objective
The objective of this scoping review is to chart and appraise the available evidence regarding osteopathic education.
Introduction
The extent and quality of the evidence regarding osteopathic education is not known. The available evidence mostly consists of small trials, qualitative interviews, cross-sectional surveys and conceptual commentaries, therefore a review to chart and appraise the available evidence is warranted.
Inclusion criteria
The review is intended to include papers related to undergraduate, postgraduate and preregistration osteopathic education. Qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods and opinion pieces and grey literature will be sought. This review will exclude papers regarding education as a treatment modality and will exclude papers regarding osteopathy as a medical profession, as is seen in a North American context.
Methods
The study will be conducted using OVID, PubMed, ERIC databases, and hand searches for key words will be conducted in key osteopathic journals. Reference lists of included papers will be screened for relevant papers, forwards and backwards citation tracking and key authors will be searched for similar publications which may be germane.
Papers not available in English, French, Spanish, German or Portuguese will be excluded. There will be no limit placed upon date of publication.
Implications for practice
•
This manuscript is the protocol for a systematic scoping review which is intended to answer the following questions:
•
What is the extent and nature of the existing evidence regarding osteopathic education?
•
Are there any elements of the literature which demonstrate good practice that can be adopted in wider osteopathic educational practice?
•
Are there any gaps within the evidence base which subsequent research can explore?
•
To date no systematic reviews have been conducted on this topic and this review will highlight the extent of the literature and guide future research priorities.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine.
The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
