National Osteopathic Medicine Week

Follow #NOMWeek to join the celebration: April 14-20, 2025

National Osteopathic Medicine (NOM) Week celebrates nearly 200,000 osteopathic physicians (DOs) and medical students who bring a distinctive whole-person philosophy to caring for millions of patients across the nation. This year’s NOM Week theme, “Honoring our Past, Building our Future,” recognizes the 150th anniversary of osteopathic medicine. First established in 1874, the osteopathic profession has evolved through the years to become one of the fastest-growing segments of health care, making up more than 11% of physicians and 28% of medical students in the U.S. today.

Throughout NOM Week, we’ll be showcasing the incredible impact of DOs within the health care community—past, present and future. Be sure to follow #NOMWeek and download assets below to join the celebration!
