The year 1987 marked the 50th Anniversary of the American Academy of Osteopathy®. In 1949, Drs. George W. and Thomas L. Northup met with Dr. Angus Cathie and initiated the first student Academy group.
In order to accord increased recognition to the groups of inquiring students, the Bylaws of the Academy were amended at the Annual Meeting in Chicago, July 1959, to provide status for the Undergraduate Academies as Component Societies of the Academy of Applied Osteopathy (now the American Academy of Osteopathy®).
In 1982, the forerunners of the current UAAO Council wanted to provide a vehicle for intercommunication among the colleges and the AAO. They also felt it would be more beneficial to unite the UAAOs under one cohesive voice. Today, there is an active UAAO membership of over 5000 members under the guidance of the American Academy of Osteopathy®.
Touro University – Nevada is proud to hold a chapter in affiliation with the Undergraduate American Academy of Osteopathy. The faculty, chapter officers, and members are dedicated to implementing the ideals that stem from the AAO.
