AACOM Advocacy Day

Advocate for OME!

Join us September 9–10, 2025 for AACOM Advocacy Day—a free virtual event where osteopathic deans, students, faculty, and advocates come together to speak up for the future of osteopathic medical education (OME).

Participants will engage with Members of Congress, advocacy consultants and AACOM's Government Relations team. You'll gain key insights into the federal landscape and learn how to be an effective advocate.

Whether you're a seasoned advocate or brand new to policy, AACOM Advocacy Day empowers you to elevate the voice of the OME community—from your home, office, or campus. Don’t miss this chance to be a part of real change.
