The Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology is developed and revised by the Educational Council on Osteopathic Principles (ECOP) of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM).
The purpose of this osteopathic glossary is to present important and frequently used words, terms, and phrases that are unique or with special significance to the osteopathic profession. It is not meant to replace a dictionary. The glossary offers the consensus of a large segment of the osteopathic profession and serves to standardize terminology.
The ECOP Glossary Review Committee specifically seeks to include those definitions that are uniquely osteopathic in their origin or common usage, distinctive in the osteopathic usage of a common word, and/or important in describing OPP/OMT.
