Sponsoring an event or conference item provides valuable recognition to companies and organizations working with AACOM and AODME and its members. Many of our sponsors return year after year because they recognize the value of the face-to-face interactions afforded by the Annual Meeting. Partial sponsorships are available.
Please contact Beth Martino or Penny Friske for more information. Complete the 
application form today and secure your sponsorship by submitting it with a 50 percent deposit to the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine.
