Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine

As we get ready to celebrate the Class of 2030 as they receive their white coats, we know everyone cannot be there in person, but you can still be part of this special moment. The livestream begins at 2:00 PM CST right here on our page or at www.acom.edu/live.

Join us as we celebrate this meaningful milestone and cheer on our students as they don their white coats and take the next step in their journey to becoming physicians.

With heartfelt gratitude, we recognize our 2026 Alumni White Coat Sponsors! Thank you to Guy Hamilton, DO, Class of 2017; Kimyra Milhouse, DO, Class of 2019; and Jamie Kilpatrick Morrow, DO, Class of 2020, for giving back to ACOM and helping welcome the next generation of osteopathic physicians into the profession.

Your generosity is a meaningful reminder of the lasting connection between our alumni and the students following in their footsteps.💙

Congratulations to ACOM student Tyler Martin, OMS-III, on being named one of just two recipients of the 2026 Osteopathic Political Action Committee (OPAC) Student Engagement Scholarship!

Tyler attended the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) House of Delegates, where he was recognized and accepted the scholarship. In addition to Tyler’s achievement, the meeting was especially meaningful for the ACOM community, as our own Richard R. Thacker, DO, MACOI, was inaugurated as the 130th President of the AOA.

We are proud of Tyler for his commitment to osteopathic medicine and his dedication to becoming an engaged leader within the profession. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition, Tyler!💙

ACOM proudly remembers the birthday of Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, who founded osteopathic medicine.

Dr. Still founded the science of osteopathic medicine on the holistic philosophy that every individual is a unique combination of body, mind, and spirit. That understanding is the cornerstone of ACOM’s teaching.

Dr. Still remained active in osteopathic medicine almost to the end of his life. He would be proud of the growth of osteopathic medical schools since his death more than a century ago. We at ACOM proudly carry on the osteopathic medicine tradition as students, faculty and staff members as we are “Inspiring Medicine through Human Touch”.

Happy Birthday Dr. Still! His legacy lives on through the dedicated medical students, faculty and staff of ACOM.

Generosity is always worth celebrating!💙

As a thank-you to everyone who supported this year’s Together ACOM Faculty & Staff Campaign, the Southeast Health Foundation brought Party Penguin to campus today for a well-deserved sweet treat.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our ACOM faculty and staff, we exceeded our campaign goal and raised $21,305 in support of the Foundation’s mission. Thank you to everyone who contributed to another successful campaign!

Our OMS-III and OMS-IV students are beginning an exciting new chapter as they start clinical rotations at core sites across the Southeast. We're proud to see 34 of our student doctors joining HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital and Ascension Sacred Heart Bay, where they'll gain invaluable hands-on experience while caring for patients and serving the Bay County community.

Thank you to our outstanding clinical partners for helping educate and mentor the next generation of osteopathic physicians. Read more in the article below! 💙🥼
