The National Academy of Osteopathic Medical Educators is a community of outstanding educators (termed Fellows) who have met rigorous standards of academic excellence within the last five years. Membership is earned (and can be renewed) for five-year intervals during which Fellows are asked to mentor and support academic excellence and scholarship in the osteopathic medical education profession.
Purpose
The purpose of the SOME National Academy of Osteopathic Medical Educators is to:
- Foster and value the scholarship of teaching and learning.
- Provide role modeling and support for educators in osteopathic medical education programs.
- Foster networking and collaboration among institutions of osteopathic medical education by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas about educational endeavors including teaching, evaluation, curriculum design and implementation, faculty development and educational research.
Fellows will be inducted into the National Academy of Osteopathic Medical Educators at the AACOM Annual Meeting each Spring.
