General information

Our mission is to encourage systems of education and regulation that will ensure high standards for safe and effective health care from osteopaths in New Brunswick.

The CONB considers membership applications from those who have graduated from the list of recognized institutions shared by all members of the CFO (see Applicant Form for the list of recognized institutions).
