A.T. Still University of Health Sciences (ATSU) is a private medical school based in Kirksville, Missouri, with a second campus in Arizona. Founded in 1892 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, it was the world's first osteopathic medical school. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. ATSU includes two campuses on 200 acres with six schools and colleges.

In 1892 in Kirksville, Missouri, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still founded the first osteopathic medical school in the world. It was originally named American School of Osteopathy, but is now known as the A.T. Still University Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM). ATSU-KCOM is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). In 1892 Still hired William Smith, a formally trained Scottish physician, to serve as the first anatomy professor of the school. Several other early osteopathic schools eventually merged with Still's school including the Atlantic School of Osteopathy (1898-1905), which had been based in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania and then Buffalo, New York.

ATSU's main campus is located on 150 acres in Kirksville, Missouri. Kirksville's population is more than 17,000 and is approximately 180 miles to Kansas City and 214 miles to St. Louis.

Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine - ATSU-KCOM trains osteopathic physicians and grants the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. ATSU-KCOM offers a two-year master's degree in biomedical sciences for students interested in health science careers in medicine, education, or research. ATSU-KCOM's DO curriculum includes four years of study. The first two years focus on the basic and clinical sciences including osteopathic theory and methods, in an academic setting at the Missouri campus. The third- and fourth-year clinical rotation experience is completed at sites in one of the rotation regions. These regions include Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah. The campus features a human patient simulation lab, study rooms for standardized patient encounters, classrooms, and labs. It also houses the Gutensohn Clinic, the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine, the A.T. Still Memorial Library, the Northeast Missouri Area Health Education Center, and the A.T. Still Research Institute. The College of Graduate Health Studies - ATSU-CGHS was founded in 1999 on the Kirksville Campus. The College trains individuals in health administration, health education, health sciences, kinesiology and public health. Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health - ATSU-MOSDOH offers the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. Students spend their first two years studying on the Missouri campus. Third- and fourth-year clinical education is based in St. Louis, with at least half of the fourth-year clinical experiences distributed in CHCs and other safety net clinics in Missouri and the Midwest.
