There has been little progress or agreement towards standardisation in the field of osteopathy, however there is an increasing interest among Australian osteopathic graduates in practising overseas. For legal reasons graduates are currently unable to practice as osteopaths in the USA, so many are looking to work in Europe, and as a result interest in issues of harmonisation and qualification portability is rising. In this study we found that osteopathic educators share common goals to work towards international harmonisation, however are sceptical of the term "standardisation" for fear of transforming a profession that is considered a philosophy, art and unique style of healthcare into something ordinary and general. The profession lacks leadership and is reluctant to help develop international bodies.
