The Work We Do

- Provides osteopathic training, resources, and other learning opportunities to promote the delivery of the highest quality of care for the body, mind, and spirit.
- Works to demonstrate impact in communities by addressing social determinants of health.
How We Give Back
We believe that well-trained osteopathic family physicians are best positioned to care for their communities. That’s why our primary giving is focused on providing osteopathic residents and new physicians-in-practice with scholarships, grants, awards and resources that promote osteopathic family medicine, leadership and ways it can make a difference in their communities.

Our Latest Initiative
Recognizing the pivotal role early career physicians play, the Foundation has launched a new Family Medicine Forward campaign that seeks to raise $750,000 by 2027. These funds will support ambitious ACOFP programs requiring funding for early career physicians to optimize primary care within communities.
