Korean Osteopathic Institute

 

The Korean Osteopathic Institute (KOI) is the first and only osteopathic education institution in Korea with a structured education programme, which follows the 'Benchmarks for Training in Osteopathy', the guideline of World Health Organization (2010). KOI has presented few historical ostepathic conferences by inviting British, Irish and French osteopaths to introduce osteopathic medicine to the medical professionals in South Korea such as medical doctors, dentists, oriental medical dotors, and physiotherapist. 

 

KOI is internationally regarded as one of the Asia’s best specialist osteopathic education institutions. KOI was founded in Seoul in 2011 by the first Korean osteopath trained and registered in UK, Byungho Joseph Kim and his first student taught in Korea, Junghoon Ahn. During its short history, KOI has become a Asia leader in osteopathic education and research in collaboration with metropolitan hospitals and medical colleges in Korea.
