Andrew Taylor Still opened his medical school in Kirksville, Missouri. He founded the American School of Osteopathy there in 1892, and that location is historically recognized as the birthplace of osteopathic medicine. The choice of Kirksville helped establish a new approach to medical training focused on the musculoskeletal system and holistic patient care, which eventually evolved into what is now the osteopathic medical profession.
