β¨ A milestone reached β¨
After 6 years of study and over 1,000+ hours of clinical practice, I have officially completed my journey with the Irish College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM).
I am beyond proud to now hold:
π Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Osteopathy
π Diploma in Osteopathic Medicine (BSc. Hons Ost. Med. D.O.)
Along the way, there were plenty of unforgettable classroom moments β drawing anatomy maps on each otherβs backs, strapping up ankles that were perfectly healthy, and practising manipulations so many times we felt like bendy pretzels. And of course, the very first steps in needlingβ¦ carefully learning on oranges before ever going near a patient π.
Through it all, ICOM pushed me to think outside the box, work hard, and keep questioning. It has been an incredible learning experience β demanding, inspiring, and unforgettable.
This chapter is now officially closed, but the learning never ends. Iβm excited for the next steps in the field of healthcare and to bring all of this knowledge into Monaghan Therapy for my patients.
To my patients, family, and friends β your support carried me through every late night and long weekend. Without you, I wouldnβt have made it. π
Thank you all for your support and encouragement β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
