American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic medical education continues to develop and keep pace with, and even surpass, the growth and developmentin medical education in general. At the start of the 2006 academic year, there were 20 colleges of osteopathic medicine,three of which have branch campuses. Tis means that there are 23 training sites for the D.O. degree. Te data presentedbelow are derived from the American Association of Medical Colleges’ AAMC Data Book , January 2005.
Enrollmentotal enrollment in D.O. programs reached 13,406 in the 2005-06 academic year, an increase of 881 or 7% from the prior year, and an increase of 2,589 or 24% since the beginning of the 21st century (2000-01 academic year). Te growth infirst-year enrollment is more striking, reaching 3,908 in 2005-06, an increase of 262 or 7% in one year, and an increase of34% over 2000-01. Te colleges graduated 2,756 D.O.s in 2005, compared with 2,510 in 2001, an increase of 10%.
otal enrollment in allopathic medical schools reporting to AAMC (American Association of Medical Colleges) was68,343 in 2005-06, an increase of 4% since 2000-01. First-year enrollment in allopathic medical schools in 2005-06 was17,376, growing at the same 4% rate. Te allopathic medical colleges graduated 15,736 M.D.s in 2004-05, compared with15,796 in 2001, a slight decrease. In 2001 D.O.s accounted for 13.7% of U.S. trained medical school graduates; by 2005that percentage had edged upward to 14.9%.
ApplicationsTe AACOMAS applicant pool for admission rose from 6,898 for the classes entering in 2001 to 8,258 for classesentering in 2005, an increase of 1,360 or 20%. With most applicants applying to more than one school, the number ofapplications submitted by each applicant is relatively stable at about six. Over the same time frame, the total number ofapplicants to allopathic medical schools through AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service) declined byabout 3%.
DemographicsFor classes entering in 2005, women represented 50.9% of all applicants and 49.8% of first-year enrollment. While thepercentage of women in the entering class declined slightly from the prior year, the number of women increased by119 as a result of overall growth in the size of the first-year classes. en years ago, for classes entering in 1996, womenaccounted for 39.2% of applicants and 37.8% of first-year enrollees. In comparison, 49.8% of allopathic applicants and
48.5% of allopathic first-year enrollees were women in 2005. Te increase in the number of women in allopathic medicaleducation over time has been similar to their growth in osteopathic medical education, but not as great because womenrepresented a greater percentage of applicants and enrollees in allopathic medical education ten years ago. Tis growth ofwomen in entering classes is reflected in total enrollment and graduation statistics.
Applications by members of historically underrepresented minority groups (Black/African American, Native American/Alaska Native, and Hispanic/Latino) accounted for 11.8% of all AACOMAS applications in 2004-05, the largest percent-age ever reported. Although the distribution varies from year to year, this represented the highest number of applicationsever received from applicants identifying themselves as Black/African American, and the third highest number of ap-plications ever received from applicants identifying themselves as Hispanic/Latino. Both first-year and total enrollmentof underrepresented minority group members in osteopathic medical schools lags behind the percentage of applications.In 2005, both first-year enrollment (at 337) and total enrollment (at 1,147) by members of underrepresented minoritygroups are at a historical peak.
GraduationA record 2,756 students graduated with the D.O. degree in 2005, an increase of 43% over ten years ago. Women account-ed for 36% of the cohort graduating in 1996, and 42% of the cohort graduating in 2005. As enrollment by women contin-ues to increase, women likely will constitute approximately 50% of D.O. graduates in coming years. Women accountedfor 47% of allopathic graduates in 2005. Underrepresented minority group members constituted 6.9% of osteopathicgraduates in 2005, (a total of 189 graduates), a decline from a high of 9.2% in 1999. Teir numbers suggest significantattrition or extended time of study when compared to the 261 underrepresented minority students who started medicalschool in 2001. AACOM does not currently track enrollment by student. Further research on the outcomes of individualstudents and cohorts might suggest approaches to improve graduation rates.

Beginning with the 2001 entering class, applicant numbers do not include UNTHSC/TCOM, as those applications were processed through theTexas Statewide Application Service. AACOM’s Applicant Projection Model makes an adjustment for the direct applicants at UNTHSC/TCOM.
Note: The correlation between the two time series shown in this figure has been very high since 1991. The relationship is best fitted by a logistic function between x and y where: x = osteopathic medical school applicants in year t y = weighted average of MCAT examinees in years t-1 and t-2 R = 0.97.

NOTE: What appears to be signicant variation in the number and amount of Loans for Disadvantaged Students and Other Loans is
accounted for by variations in how the colleges report these loans from year to year.1This represents the total number of awards given to 10,720 students in 2003-04 and 11,310 students in 2004-05. Many students
receive multiple awards through different loan programs.
