Doctorate of Diagnostology
The Doctorate of Diagnostology is a rigorously evaluated, post-professional doctoral pathway. Advancement and completion are contingent upon successful demonstration of doctoral-level diagnostic mastery, completion of residency-style training, original research and publication, and passing a comprehensive written and on-site board examination.
What is Diagnostology?
Innovating Through Diagnostology
Diagnostology is an advanced, non-radiative approach to diagnosis that complements traditional imaging methods. It adds a new layer of insight by using ultrasound, pathology correlation, and lab value analysis to identify disease and dysfunction faster, safely, and more cost-effectively.
A Complementary, Non-Radiative Approach to Diagnosis.
Rather than replacing existing radiologic tools, Diagnostology offers an additional diagnostic option—one that focuses on how the body communicates functionally, not just what can be seen anatomically.
Pioneered at ADOM Academy of Diagnostic and Osteopathic Medicine, Diagnostology helps clinicians make better-informed decisions by interpreting functional imaging, clinical patterns, & lab data without relying on ionizing radiation. As non- radiative precisionists, our goal is to enhance the diagnostic process, not compete with it.
