Welcome to the
Indiana Osteopathic Association
The Indiana Osteopathic Association (IOA) is the only organization dedicated to improving the health of all Hoosiers and to making Indiana the best possible place to practice osteopathic medicine.
Active membership is graduated for physicians in their early years of practice. Interested in joining? Apply today. Not sure if you are a member? Send an e-mail message or call us at (800) 942-0501.
All members will receive the Hoosier D.O. and other publications. The Hoosier D.O., however, is no longer snailed mailed. Instead it will be available on our website (login required) or in digital version (correct e-mail address required). You also will receive mailings about Board Actions and other important issues. Not receiving these? Please get in touch with us to verify that your information is up-to-date.
As evidenced during a groundbreaking and naming ceremony on August 24, 2011, the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine is continuing to make progress toward a planned opening in August 2013. Read more.
