ACOFP Helps You
Support Your Students
Make sure your students get the benefits of ACOFP membership from the beginning. Membership and annual conference registration are free to students (and residents).
Here are a few ways to get started:
- Encourage your students to join ACOFP. It's free for them and takes only a few minutes!
- Connect them with their local student chapter.
- Introduce them to funding available through the ACOFP Awards Program or the Poster Presentation opportunities.
- Refer your students to available student-oriented resources in the eLearning Center.
- Share the student edition DO.fm podcast to familiarize students with the diversity in practicing family medicine.
Connect with Your Colleagues
- Nominate a colleague for the Master Preceptor Award or the Osteopathic Family Medicine Educator of the Year Award.
- Attend the annual convention.
- Participate in the Faculty Development and Program Directors' Workshop.
- Access the ACOFP Member Directory.
Incorporate OMTeaching at Your Institution
ACOFP has created a supplemental digital tool that blends seamlessly into your current curriculum, including an expansive library of OMT demonstration videos.
- OMTeaching is designed to be plugged into your residency curriculum with pre-built PowerPoints, quizzes, and videos to support continuous learning for your residents. The curriculum was built to help you, as a faculty member, teach future physicians the fundamentals of OMT.
- OMTotal, the largest library of OMT demonstration videos, is FREE for all ACOFP physician members. It allows you to refine your skills with step-by-step demonstrations of OMT techniques and is available online and in the ACOFP 365 mobile app.

Help with Future Board Certification
Set your students up for their future success in their residency programs by providing a smooth introduction to certification and the osteopathic pathway.
- Get started with our webinar "Navigating the Osteopathic Pathway."
- Learn about the Initial Certification Grant.
- Spread the word about the Early Entry Initial Certification (EEIC), which can be completed both more quickly and at less expense than the traditional certification pathway.
- Review the joint letter of support for residents to share with their Program Director when they begin their residency.
