Welcome All Osteopathic Medical Students!

AACOM's Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents, 2025-2026

We are excited to welcome you and glad you are here exploring more about the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents (COSGP).

COSGP is a one-of-a-kind organization composed of student government presidents and vice presidents from colleges and schools of osteopathic medicine (COM/SOM) across the nation. We meet regularly to develop our leadership skills, support one another, and explore meaningful ways to advocate for better medical school experiences for all students. Each COM/SOM provides a voice that amplifies the volume of our organization, and we could not be more grateful to have the support of AACOM and each individual school.

As osteopathic medical students we have the unique experience to be a part of the change that we want to see within our profession. At COSGP, we’re committed to hearing the challenges you face at your COM/SOM and working with you to create a more supportive, inclusive, empowering environment for all. We believe in power in unity and strive to champion for students' wellbeing and needs.

This year our theme is “Level Up.” We have set three core goals to guide us:

1. Elevate the osteopathic student voice and ensure that our decisions are always mindful of their impact on students.
2. Enhance the relationship with our partner organizations and forge new connections.
3. Expand the reach of our initiatives to ensure every student benefits from our work.  

We understand that the journey through medical school comes with unique challenges. COSGP is here to support you, advocate for you, and help build a better future for us all in medicine.

We encourage each of you to “Press Start to Lead” among your peers and in your communities. “Activate your Potential” by discovering where your passions lie. “Unlock New Power Ups” through leadership growth. And finally, “Save your Progress”  by leaving a legacy that lasts.

From everyone here at COSGP, we value your efforts and commitment to serving others and look forward to an incredible year ahead.
