A stronger membership base means a stronger and greater AOA!  By increasing the number of DOs who are members, the osteopathic professional family will grow in size, strength, and presence. We all play an important role in representing the AOA and the osteopathic profession. We are a unified profession, and together we can build an even stronger association.

The “AOA Membership Challenge” trial membership is an invitation to DOs who are not members of the AOA and have not been members since May 31, 2008. This trial membership is free of charge and valid through May 31, 2011. Click here to apply for a free trial membership or click here to learn about how you can invite your non-member colleagues to join.
