COSGP Awards

Global Health Scholar of the Year

The Global Health Scholar of the Year Award was established by COSGP to recognize students who take an interest in advancing international understanding of osteopathic medicine.

National Student DO of the Year (SDOY)

The National Student DO of the Year is chosen from among the outstanding students selected by their schools as Student DO of the Year on the basis of their service to their college, leadership and research experiences, and dedication to the osteopathic profession.

Student Researcher of the Year (SROY)

Started in 2015, the National Student Researcher of the Year (SROY) Award is piloted by the AACOM Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents (COSGP). The award recognizes osteopathic medical students with highly competitive experiences and advancement in clinical, translational, or basic science research.

Osteopathic medical student researchers are self-nominated for the SROY Award, from which the national winner is chosen. The national awardee is selected based on the student’s contributions to osteopathic research that align with the mission of both the osteopathic profession and COSGP—to advance the philosophy, practice, and science of osteopathic medicine.
