ABOUT THE AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC FOUNDATION

Since our inception in 1949, we have been supporting programs and initiatives that align with our mission to support programs and services that promote osteopathic medicine and enhance patient-centered care. The AOF is the only national osteopathic foundation that supports and invests in the whole profession by recognizing all osteopathic physicians based on professional merit. The AOF benefits thousands of osteopathic medical professionals through grants, scholarships, and awards to students, physicians, educators, researchers, and osteopathic programs.

DIVE DEEPER

The American osteopathic Foundation is made up of osteopathic physicians, industry benefactors, affiliates, and others interested in advancing osteopathic medicine. We believe that celebrating osteopathic excellence is one of the most important efforts we can undertake to bolster osteopathic medicine and its practitioners. To learn more about the work of the AOF or to get involved, please visit our website and connect with us!
