About
Welcome to Educating Leaders 2027
Educating Leaders is the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine's (AACOM) premier annual conference and the largest gathering dedicated to osteopathic medical education. Each year, educators, academic leaders, students, residents, healthcare professionals and industry partners come together to share ideas, address emerging challenges and explore new approaches that strengthen the physician workforce.
Join us April 14–16, 2027, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for three days of meaningful conversations, practical learning and connections with colleagues who are shaping the future of osteopathic medical education (OME).

Learn, Connect and Discover
The conference features nationally recognized keynote speakers, educational sessions, interactive workshops, research presentations and one of the largest exhibit halls focused exclusively on osteopathic medical education. Attendees can discover new technologies, connect with trusted partners, exchange ideas with colleagues from across the country and explore innovative solutions that support students, faculty and institutions.
