The EOCE is a test designed and administered by an international board of EDO examiners to measure the examinee’s osteopathic knowledge, application of osteopathic theory, and performance of osteopathic techniques. The EOCE has two parts: a theoretical exam and a practical exam.  Passing the EOCE demonstrates your proficiency in advanced animal osteopathy and awards you use of the trademarked EDO title while you are a member in good standing with REDOI.
