Canadian Institute of Osteopathic Therapy

The Canadian Institute of Osteopathic Therapy (CIOT) Calgary has supported students through career-focused education, professional training, and institutional partnerships.

CIOT previously offered osteopathic therapy education programs licensed through the Private Career Colleges and Compliance Branch (PCCCB), Government of Alberta.

CIOT partnered with Portage College in a Public-Private Partnership to deliver programs at the Calgary campus, where approximately 5,000 students graduated, reflecting both institutions' commitment to student success.

CIOT Osteopathic Programs

CIOT Calgary previously offered:

  • Osteopathic Musculoskeletal Practice Program

  • Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Therapy

All students enrolled in CIOT's osteopathic programs have completed their studies. There are no active or outstanding students in these programs, and CIOT Calgary is not accepting new enrolments.

Partnership with Portage College

From 2023 to mid-2026, the following Portage College continuing education programs were offered at the CIOT Calgary campus:

  • Business Accounting Diploma
  • Business Management Diploma
  • Business General Certificate
  • Teacher Assistant Diploma
  • Teacher Assistant Certificate

The final Portage College intake at the CIOT Calgary campus took place on May 8, 2024.

Following changes in government regulations, CIOT made the strategic decision to discontinue new student enrolments. No students were enrolled in any Portage College program at the CIOT Calgary campus after May 15, 2024.

In accordance with the planned agreement between the two institutions established in mid-2024, the public-private partnership was concluded in July 2026.
