AACOM US Osteopathic Medical College Directory Scraper

Extracts the complete directory of US Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (COMs) from the AACOM Choose D.O. Explorer — the authoritative source for all DO medical programs in the United States.

What it scrapes

The actor crawls the AACOM listing (~74 entries: 29 main COMs plus branch campuses) and their individual profile pages to extract:

  • College name — full name including parent university
  • Location — city and state
  • Campus type — Main Campus or Branch Campus
  • Parent institution — university or health system affiliation
  • Year founded
  • Official website URL
  • AACOM profile URL — link to the AACOM detail page
  • Logo URL — COM logo image
  • Institution type — Private, Public, Non-Profit
  • In-state and out-of-state tuition
  • COCA accreditation status — text from the Accreditation & Affiliation section
  • Campus setting — Rural, Suburban, Urban

Use cases

  • Pre-med advising platforms — build DO program databases alongside MD/LCME directories
  • Education data aggregators — complete US osteopathic medicine coverage
  • Healthcare research — COM landscape analysis, geographic distribution, tuition benchmarking
  • College comparison tools — pair with LCME data for full US med-school coverage
