COMPO President Joining Medical Team of St Michael Hospital Missionary Work to Philippines

TORONTO - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Susan Doctolero Francisco, DOMP, president of the College of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners of Ontario (COMPO) and an osteopathic manual practitioner alumni of National Academy of Osteopathy is joining medical team of St Michael Hospital’s missionary work to the Philippines for six weeks, starting February 2014 to help in re-building the devastation typhoon Haiyan caused.

The College of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners of Ontario is the self governing body established by the osteopathic manual practice profession in the province of Ontario (Canada) to regulate and supervise its members who are osteopathic manual practitioners (OMP). Membership in COMPO is voluntary as COMPO is not yet a member of the Federation of Health Regulatory Colleges of Ontario.

COMPO sets requirements for entry to the manual osteopathy profession, registers manual osteopaths, sets standards of practice and guidelines for professional practice, monitors competence through a quality assurance program, investigates complaints against members and disciplines those members who have committed acts of professional misconduct or who are incompetent or incapacitated.
