T. Still University began with the founding of the Kirksville College
of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM), located in Kirksville, Mo., in 1892
by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O. The University has a rich history
of providing leadership for comprehensive healthcare education and
research and is consistently ranked in U.S. News and World Report’s
“Best Graduate Schools” guide. In addition to KCOM, ATSU has added
four new schools in the last decade. The Arizona School of Health
Sciences, founded in 1995, was the first school to occupy ATSU's
second campus in Mesa, Ariz. The School of Health Management, an
exclusively online school, was founded in 1999 on the Kirksville
Campus, and the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health was
added to the Mesa Campus in 2003. In 2006, ATSU founded the School
of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona, its second osteopathic medical
college, on the Mesa campus.

Osteopathic
Medicine in Practice
- In 1897, Dr. A. T. Still’s students organized to form
the American Association for the Advancement of Osteopathy
(AAAO), or the American Osteopathic Association as it is
known today.
- The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare
recognized the AOA as the accrediting body for osteopathic
medical education in 1952. In 1967, the AOA was recognized
by the National Commission on Accrediting (now the Council
for Higher Education Accreditation) as the accrediting agency
for all facets of osteopathic medical education in the United
States.
- Federal recognition had a profound effect on osteopathic
medicine, spurring a second generation of schools and a
dramatic increase in the number of osteopathic physicians.
The big shift came in the move to state-supported schools,
starting with Michigan State University College of Osteopathic
Medicine in East Lansing, which graduated its first class
in 1973.
- Osteopathic medicine has helped many important historical
figures, including John D. Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger,
and former presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight
Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy.
- Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) has been used
to treat a variety of problems such as ear infections, sinus
problems, colic in infants, and many adult maladies. It
has had a success rate high enough to convince many M.D.s
to take classes in OMM.
