Know when and how to use your academic title (OMS-I). The AOA recommends that students refer to themselves as “Osteopathic Medical Students” (OMS), followed by their academic level in Roman numerals. Students should use this title for all written communications (emails, letters, social media, etc.) Correct verbalization of this title is “[year] medical student.” (“First-year medical student,” “fourth-year medical students,” etc.)
