About us
Founded in 1898, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) is the leading voice for the education and training of physicians who practice osteopathic medicine in settings across the medical spectrum — from primary care to the full range of medical specialties. We support our member colleges of osteopathic medicine in their efforts to attract and train individuals who are fueled by a desire to make a difference in our healthcare system by treating the whole person and building a future emphasizing health and wellness for all people. Today, more than 35,000 future physicians — 25 percent of all U.S. medical students — are being educated at one of our 38 accredited colleges of osteopathic medicine, encompassing 62 teaching locations in 35 states. AACOM is an important advocate for public health and healthcare policy in Washington, DC, and state capitals, and promotes medical research, health equity and innovation. AACOM also plays an important role in establishing standards of excellence for medical education through its member colleges, and in graduate medical education through internships, fellowships and residencies at U.S. medical centers, hospitals, clinics and health systems.
