#NOMWeek How DOs and med students across the country are celebrating NOM Week 2020 Happy NOM Week! See how members of the profession are lifting each other up and spreading the word about osteopathic medicine. April 22, 2020Wednesday Andy Brown Contact Andy Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email It’s that time of year again! National Osteopathic Medicine (NOM) Week is April 19-25, 2020. This annual observance brings together our profession—now more than 150,000 strong—to unite in the pursuit of a common goal: celebrating and raising awareness of osteopathic medicine in communities across the nation. Throughout the week, the AOA has explored the theme “We Are Osteopathic Medicine” and invited physicians and students to share how they practice osteopathic medicine using the #NOMWeek hashtag. Whether you’re a physician treating patients on the front lines of COVID-19, a student learning anatomy or an advocate making your voice heard, your stories are what make this profession diverse and distinct, and we want to celebrate them! We found DOs and members of the osteopathic family who were excited to express their osteopathic pride on social media.
