Each year, the Foundation provides $25,000 in support of the Osteopathic Associations of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington State. These grants are made in direct support of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs in these states.
Many of our DO members run small businesses. When the doctor is out earning CME credits, the office is not seeing patients and there is no income for those days. The Foundation believes it is in the public’s best interest that these primary care physicians have the opportunity to stay current on the best practices in osteopathic medicine at a conference that is close to home and less expensive.
These CME conferences are approved by the American Osteopathic Association and feature speakers who are highly respected in the healthcare community. The Foundation is very proud of these programs and believes them to be some of the best in the nation! Most are distributed live over the internet so doctors all over the country participate in these high-quality workshops.
