A T Still University ATSU Overview

ATSU began with the founding of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM), located in Kirksville, Mo., in 1892 by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O. The University has a rich history of providing leadership for comprehensive healthcare education and research and is consistently ranked in U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Graduate Schools” guide.

In addition to KCOM, ATSU has added four new schools in the last decade. The Arizona School of Health Sciences, founded in 1995, was the first school to occupy ATSU’s second campus in Mesa, Ariz. The School of Health Management, an exclusively online school, was founded in 1999 on the Missouri Campus, and the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health was added to the Arizona Campus in 2003. In 2006, ATSU founded the School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona, its second osteopathic medical college, also on the Arizona Campus.

A.T. Still University is home to the founding college of osteopathic medicine. We are the oldest osteopathic institution in the world, founded in 1892.
