There are many organizations available to today's osteopathic internist. ACOI is the only one, however, whose sole purpose is to foster the continued success and future growth of osteopathic internal medicine.

Members of the ACOI join for many reasons: continuing education, networking, camaraderie. Not surprisingly, many join to give something back to their profession.

Membership in the ACOI is available to all osteopathic internists, internal medicine trainees, and medical students. The membership categories are as follows:
