The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) is the representative member organization for the more than 109,000 osteopathic medical physicians (D.O.s) and osteopathic medical students in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/about/aoa-annual-statistics/Documents/2014-osteopathic-medical-profession-report.pdf )〕 The AOA is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and is involved in post-graduate training for osteopathic physicians. Beginning in 2015, it will begin accrediting post-graduate education as a committee within ACGME, creating a unified accreditation system for all DOs and MDs in the United States. The organization promotes public health, encourages academic scientific research, serves as the primary certifying body for D.O.s overseeing 18 certifying boards, is the accrediting agency for osteopathic medical schools through its Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, and has federal authority to accredit hospitals and other health care facilities, through its program, the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/accreditation/Pages/default.aspx )〕 The AOA has held yearly conventions since its founding in 1897.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://history.osteopathic.org/convlist.shtml )〕 The AOA also manages DOCARE International, a non-profit charitable organization. The AOA also publishes ''The DO'', a monthly online publication, and ''The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association'', a peer reviewed medical journal. ==Mission== The AOA's mission is to advance the philosophy and practice of osteopathic medicine by promoting excellence in education, research, and the delivery of quality, cost-effective healthcare. The AOA supports the annual "D.O. Day on Capitol Hill," where more than 1,000 osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) and osteopathic medical students go to Washington, D.C. to meet with congressmen to discuss current issues in health care, such as access to care challenges. The event serves as an opportunity for the legislators to learn more about health care and osteopathic medicine, and for the medical students to become more familiar with the political process.
