Osteopathic Terminology

Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology
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). This glossary should be useful to students of osteopathic medicine and helpful to authors and other professionals in understanding and making proper use of osteopathic vocabulary.
Authorized Osteopathic Thesaurus
This "is the official thesaurus for osteopathic medicine, defining the meaning and interrelationships of those terms that have a unique meaning in osteopathic medicine. [Its goal] is to standardize the unique diagnostic, therapeutic, and theoretical concepts and terminology of osteopathic philosophy, principles and practice. [It] includes the preferred form of each term; its definition; references as needed to broader, narrower, and related terms; synonyms; and archaic forms of the term. Abbreviations and acronyms are also included."
