Did BYU spread the osteopathic gospel?

So did they build it?

"A small section of the East Bay golf course in Provo, Utah, could house an osteopathic medical school a few years from now.

"Wasatch Educational, the parent company to Rocky Mountain University, announced its intent on Nov. 21 [2017] to build an osteopathic medical school in Provo. The company submitted a proposal for consideration by Provo City Council and is in the beginning stages of applying for accreditation."

Brigham Young University, like many institutions, often expands its academic and professional programs to meet various financial needs. Osteopathic medicine is a field of complementary medicine that emphasizes a whole-person approach to care, focusing not just on the treatment of conditions but on the promotion of overall health and well-being. It claims to work with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Osteopathic physicians, also known as DOs (Doctors of Osteopathy), are fully licensed to practice medicine and surgery in all 50 states of the U.S. and in many other parts of the world.

Re: Did BYU spread the osteopathic gospel?

Osteopathic ... because there is something wrong with medicine and only osteopaths can fix it. Sounds a lot like quackery. "complementary medicine" ? If it works it is called medicine. And they have the nerve to be calling real doctors "allopaths"
This is from BYU,the place that gave us "corpus linguistics".
