What is AOCOPM (aocopm.org)?

Updated

AOCOPM is the American Osteopathic College of Occupational and Preventive Medicine, a professional organization for osteopathic physicians and related practitioners in occupational and preventive medicine. Its website, aocopm.org, is primarily a member-services and professional-development hub: it publishes certification information, continuing medical education (CME) courses, conference details, and member resources. If you are a physician, resident, or student looking for occupational medicine certification pathways, CME, or a mentor network, the site is relevant to you. If you are a patient or general visitor, it is not a clinical or consumer-facing resource.

What AOCOPM covers

The site organizes its content around a few core areas:

  • About and leadership – organizational information, leadership contacts, newsletters, and governance documents (committees, policies, bylaws).
  • AOA certifications – pathways tied to the American Osteopathic Association, including:
    • CAQ: Occupational Medicine
    • Subspecialty Certification: Correctional Medicine
    • Subspecialty Certification: Hyperbaric/Undersea Medicine
  • Residency training – information for trainees in the field.
  • CME and certification courses – including OPAM workshops such as DOT FMCSA NRCME, Basic Course in Occupational Medicine, and MRO.
  • Member Center – forums, job postings, discussions, announcements, and a mentor network.
  • Resources – study guides, reference books, and a basic course review available for download.

A calendar of events and grand rounds are also listed.

Membership and access

The site includes Join or Renew and Member Login options, indicating that some content and services are gated behind membership or login. The homepage does not state pricing or whether any content is free, so treat membership terms as something to confirm directly through the Join or Renew page rather than assuming open access.
