Academic Recognition Program
The Academic Recognition Program has been discontinued.
The nation’s colleges of osteopathic medicine are committed to increasing medical student diversity and ensuring medical education is accessible to all. AACOM is helping its member colleges achieve this goal through the Academic Recognition Program, a program dedicated to supplementing instruction around health equity and health disparities.
The program on Health Disparities and Health Equity consisted of 11 modules delivered online. It was developed for osteopathic medical students and designed as a supplemental offering to help better understand disparities and where they exist across marginalized populations. Of the 11 modules, only 10 were required for completion of this program. The newest module, Maternal Justice, provides key insights into a critical issue facing the American healthcare system and aims to dismantle inequities in maternity care and maximize maternal health outcomes.
The Academic Recognition Program was a non-credit-bearing and there was a $100 administrative fee. Students received a certificate of recognition and a lapel pin to signify completion.
