Fellowship in the Assembly of Osteopathic Graduate Medical Educators (AOGME), formerly known as the Association of Osteopathic Directors and Medical Educators (AODME), is an honor recognizing long and meritorious service to the AOGME and the osteopathic profession.

The status of Fellow is awarded for life, and when awarded, the recipient is entitled to use the initials FAOGME following his/her name and degree, whenever appropriate. Those awarded Fellowship prior to January 2018, may continue to use the initials FAODME if they so choose.

Below is a list of Collegium of Fellows and the year in which they were inducted.
