On Wednesday, June 28, 2023, AACOM celebrated its 125th anniversary. To commemorate the significant milestone, House and Senate champions introduced congressional resolutions (H.Res.498/S.Res.283) recognizing AACOM and the doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) who devote their time and skills to patients and communities across the United States.
The growth of our profession since our association’s formation has been a testament to the vision and enduring importance of the osteopathic principles and practice (OPP) pioneered by our founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still,” said AACOM President and CEO Robert A. Cain, DO. “We’ve come a long way since 1898, tripling in size over the past two decades alone. Our prosperity reflects the quality of care we offer and the needs we meet, and brings us closer to our goal of ensuring every patient has the option to receive care based on OPP. We thank Congress for recognizing our anniversary, commending our work and celebrating our students and DOs.
