As a resident in osteopathic family medicine, here's your chance to help medical students and fellow residents, learn about osteopathic family medicine and the ACOFP.
The ACOFP Resident Recruiter program enhances the education of medical students, inspiring many to become osteopathic family physicians while helping osteopathic family practice residency programs recruit the best candidates, ensuring the long-term health of our specialty.
As an ACOFP Resident Recruiter, you will automatically be seen as a leader within osteopathic family medicine. But based on your location, you may also get additional leadership opportunities. For instance, you may also be asked to accompany an ACOFP elected officer when speaking about osteopathic family medicine during medical school visits. And, you might even be invited to attend the ACOFP Annual Convention as our guest and speak with medical students at the event.
Here's how ACOFP Resident Recruiters contribute your time and talents during the one-year volunteer term that runs from July to June.
