Osteopathic Medicine is under attack!

As you may know, in February of this year, representatives of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) met in Puerto Rico, out of the public eye and with little input or analysis, agreed to a single accreditation system for graduate medical education (GME) programs in the U.S.

Many fear this merger will cause irreparable harm and will ultimately destroy the osteopathic medical profession. This past July, the AOA voted down the merger but the issue gained support again for some reason. Now we must unify as one in opposing unification of our accreditation process to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

Sign the Petition and join our effort to oppose the single accreditation system for GME.
