The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM)

The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) was founded in 1898 to lend support and assistance to the nation's osteopathic medical schools, and to serve as a unifying voice for osteopathic medical education. 

The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine leads and advocates for the osteopathic medical education community to improve the health of the public.

AACOM represents and advances the continuum of medical education by:

• supporting our member institutions as they educate the future physician workforce;
• increasing awareness of osteopathic medical education and osteopathic medicine;
• promoting excellence in medical education, policy, research, and service; and
• fostering innovation and quality throughout medical education.
