We’ll see you in ONE WEEK! 🙌

One of the most special parts of this conference each year is the camaraderie — the friendships, mentorships, and sense of family that continues to grow within the osteopathic community. Seeing students, physicians, educators, and leaders come together to learn, share, and support one another is truly something special. These moments remind us why this community is so strong.

That’s right, Dr. Chin! 👏 We actually represent you. Your voice matters — and through NYSOMS, your input directly helps shape the future of osteopathic practice.

From advocating for policy changes that impact your day-to-day work…To offering 30–35 CME credits annually at locations across the state…To hands-on seminars led by experts like Dr. Chin in vector-based OMM techniques…

This is more than membership — it’s community, advocacy, education, and camaraderie. Being part of an organization means standing together to support the DO profession and move it forward. If you’re not involved yet — now’s the time.
