AAO Mission

The mission of the American Academy of Osteopathy is to teach, advocate, and research the science, art and philosophy of osteopathic medicine, emphasizing the integration of osteopathic principles, practice and manipulative treatment in patient care.


AAO has developed a partnership with Patient360 to assist you with your practice management. As a Patient360 client, you will be immediately rewarded for your educational efforts. Successive Level II E&M services assemble groups of your patients in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Overhead costs are dramatically reduced and profits are made using the Patient360 system. In addition to the immediate financial gain of providing the service for your patients, Patient360 helps you become a “Pay for Performance” (P4P) champion. Patient360 is a Medicare Certified Physician Quality Reporting Initiative Registry (CMS Certified PQRI Registry) and use of the Patient360 product allows for simultaneous data population for your Medicare bonus.

“What I do know is that when I put my hands on a patient as part of a comprehensive physical exam, I begin to evolve a line of questioning that isn't entirely conscious. I pick up information in my hands that guide the questions I next need to ask.”
