ISOMT has recently started its first cohort of a post-doctoral program that aligns with the International Federation of Orthopedic Manual Therapy guidelines and the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Therapy. The program is one of its kind. It will be offered in 100 languages using modern technology where students and practitioners from non-English speaking countries can benefit. The effort has sparked interest among professionals and students from the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South America.
The program launched could be enrolled in online and offline modules with Dr. Kumar spearheading this effort in India and neighbouring countries while Dr. Singh, who resides in the US, is helping this unique initiative in South America and Europe.
The program consists of 12 rigorous evidence-based modules developed by Dr. Kumar and Dr. Singh to teach analytical thinking, problem-solving, and evidence-based critical decision-making to improve the standards of health care globally.
