The Osteopathic Practitioners, Estimates and RAtes (OPERA) is an online-based osteopathic survey looking at surveying osteopathic professionals across the world. The mission is to collect data from all osteopathic practitioners around the world and produce benchmarks. The vision is to make osteopathic data available to the public.
Thus our very inclusive view is to work collaboratively with local professionals and therefore with associations, institutions, and other bodies.
Our beliefs are based on the fact that having all the countries surveyed will increase the chance of moving towards homogeneity of different relevant osteopathic aspects important for patients, osteopaths, institutions, stakeholders, and policymakers. This will be based on data transparency and impacts are easy to imagine.
