Osteopathic Recognition
Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS), Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) introduced a bipartisan resolution designating April 14-20, 2025, as National Osteopathic Medicine (NOM) Week. NOM Week recognizes the service and dedication of DOs and colleges of osteopathic medicine nationwide. The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine thanks Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS), Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) for recognizing the vital and expanding role osteopathic physicians play in advancing the health of our nation. We are especially grateful for their celebration of the colleges of osteopathic medicine, which educate and support the more than 38,000 future physicians who are training to provide whole-person, patient-centered care. This bipartisan resolution and the federal observance of National Osteopathic Medicine Week underscore the meaningful impact our profession makes on patients and communities across the country. AACOM President and CEO Robert A. Cain, DO
