Osteopathy is a distinct profession in Malta, regulated by the Council for Professions Complementary to Medicine that covers a number of professions including physiotherapy and chiropractic. This body was set up to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public, by setting and maintaining standards of professional training, performance and conduct.
To register as an osteopath, the applicant's qualification must be recognised by the National Commission for Further and Higher Education. The minimum level required is Level 5 (a BSc degree in osteopathy or osteopathic medicine).
