Strategic partnerships AACOM is actively expanding collaborations with higher education, healthcare institutions, and policy advocates, including recent partnerships with Sallie Mae for student financing and UNC Sheps Center for GME development, signaling openness to vendor and program support opportunities.

Student financing With a revenue range of 100M-250M and ongoing shifts in federal loan programs, there is a clear demand for financial services, scholarship funding, loan guidance platforms, and educational product financing tailored to osteopathic medical students.

Pilot program leverage The launch of AACOM’s pilot programs to assist developing COMs indicates a receptiveness to turnkey solutions, onboarding support services, and scalable technology or consulting packages for growing member institutions.

GME and workforce Strategic initiatives around graduate medical education and physician workforce development (e.g., with UNC Sheps Center) create opportunities to offer data analytics, training platforms, residency management tools, and workforce planning solutions.

Policy and advocacy As a policy advocate and standards setter in osteopathic medical education, AACOM may value compliance, regulatory intelligence, grant-enabled programs, and targeted content or events that enhance advocacy, fundraising, and member engagement.
