2021 ACOS-MSS Fall Convention

2021 ACOS-MSS Fall Conference
After careful consideration of the health and safety conditions for holding a large-scale event in Orlando, Florida, the ACOS Board of Governors made the difficult, but responsible, decision to cancel the in-person 2021 Annual Clinical Assembly of Osteopathic Surgeons (ACA) and convert it to a virtual format, to be launched in early November. As the medical student section of the ACOS, we will follow the lead of the ACOS and will also transition our annual conference to a virtual conference format.

2021 ACOS-MSS Fall Conference Registration

The ACOS medical student section will automatically refund registrations purchased for the 2021 ACOS-MSS annual meeting. You will then be able to electively register for the virtual conference, at a discounted rate of $60. To encourage attendance, we will also offer scholarships for two members from each official ACOS-MSS chapter on a first come, first served basis.

The ACOS Medical Student Section is offering registration scholarships to two student members from each ACOS-MSS approved local chapter. To apply, click here.

The registration button has been disabled until the new, discounted rate is effective in our system. 

*ACOS Student Membership

ACOS Student Members may register at the reduced membership rate. To apply for membership, submit an online membership application  with your $30 payment. Students enrolled in AOA-accredited colleges of osteopathic medicine who have an interest in the pursuit of surgical training may apply for SOSA/ACOS student membership. Student membership offers medical students an opportunity to become more familiar with the surgical specialties and the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (ACOS). Student membership expires upon graduation from an AOA-accredited college of osteopathic medicine.
