ACOEP at OMED 2026

ACOEP at OMED 2026: What to Expect

For Fall 2026, the American College of Osteopathic Emergency Physicians (ACOEP) will participate in OMED 2026. This year’s fall meeting will be held in conjunction with OMED rather than as a standalone ACOEP Scientific Assembly. This page is designed to clearly explain what that means for ACOEP members, what programming and benefits you can expect, and how to register using ACOEP’s dedicated access link.

Why This Matters

Participating within OMED allows ACOEP to:
  • Expand national visibility
  • Offer members broader educational options
  • Align emergency medicine voices within the larger osteopathic profession
We’re excited to bring ACOEP members together in Las Vegas for OMED 2026 and to maintain a strong ACOEP presence while welcoming and connecting with emergency medicine physicians who may be engaging with ACOEP for the first time.

Conference Basics

  • Event: OMED 2026 – 131st Osteopathic Medical Conference
  • Dates: Thursday, October 22 – Sunday, October 25, 2026
  • Location: Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada
  • Format: In-person with included virtual access
  • Virtual Platform Opens: Sunday, October 25, 2026

Earn up to 60 CME credits at OMED26

In‑person attendees are eligible to earn up to 60 AOA Category 1 Credits (40 Category 1‑A, 20 Category 1‑B) or 60 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ through the full OMED program.

Emergency medicine physicians can earn up to 17 credits through the ACOEP emergency medicine track,
with additional CME available by attending other OMED educational sessions.

In‑person registration includes on‑demand access to recorded sessions after the meeting, allowing attendees to review content or view sessions they were unable to attend live.

What ACOEP Members Should Know

  • You will register through OMED, not a separate ACOEP conference
  • ACOEP programming will be embedded within OMED
  • You receive full access to all OMED educational content
  • You benefit from significant AOA member pricing incentives

ACOEP Programming at OMED 2026

ACOEP will feature targeted specialty content and organizational presence within OMED, including:
  • Curated ACOEP clinical and professional sessions
  • Leadership, governance, and awards activities
  • Engagement opportunities with ACOEP leaders and peers
While this is not a full, standalone Scientific Assembly, ACOEP’s identity and mission remain clearly represented within the broader OMED program.
