JAOA/AACOM Medical Education Section

The Medical Education section has long been a staple of The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association (JAOA). However, with the ever-evolving changes in the medical education continuum, the JAOA is now partnering with the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) to deliver the best research and practices in osteopathic medical education. With the leadership of our newest associate editor, Elizabeth K. McClain, PhD, EdS, MPH, we are proud to have launched this section with the April 2016 issue of the JAOA. Readers can visit this page to find the latest research from this joint endeavor.
