You DO you! Join us in celebrating the distinctiveness of the osteopathic medical profession.
Join the AOA in celebrating National Osteopathic Medicine (NOM) Week April 15-21, 2018. We've planned a full slate of activities focused on bringing the profession together to raise awareness of osteopathic medicine and DOs in communities across the nation.

Use our elevator pitch when speaking with potential patients about osteopathic medicine:
There are two types of fully licensed physicians in the U.S. – MDs and DOs. Our training and education are very similar and equally rigorous, but DOs come at the practice of medicine from a different philosophy. We tend to partner with our patients to help them get healthy and stay well.
