Future leaders & ACOFP:
This reflection highlights how the ACOFP Foundation Initial Certification Grant supported one osteopathic physician’s transition into practice, enabling patient-centered care, reducing barriers for underserved populations, and fostering future education in holistic family medicine.
An introduction to the new campaign from ACOFP foundation.
Ronnie B. Martin, DO, FACOFP dist., shares the genesis of the International Primary Care Educational Alliance (IPCEA) and the impact the program has had on him, its other founders and the lives of those patients and physicians they have helped.
Taking the AOBFP board certification supports and maintains distinction of the osteopathic profession. By supporting the AOBFP, we are endorsing advocacy for and protection of the distinct elements of the osteopathic profession. With taking the OMT practical in addition to the written exam, one will be “safe” from the possibility that OMT reimbursement in the future will be only to those who are board certified in the practice.
When the American Osteopathic Board of Family Medicine announced the groundbreaking Early Entry Initial Certification (EEIC) pathway, I knew this was the direction I wanted to go. Pursuing the now optional OMT portion of the board certification was an easy choice for me. I want my patients to know that beyond being trained in osteopathic medicine, I have gone through the process of having my skills reviewed and approved by a larger body—like any other board exam.
The ACOFP Foundation thanks our donors for supporting the osteopathic family and our continuing growth. Now more than ever, we need your help to ensure the future of osteopathic distinctiveness so that we can positively impact access to high-quality health care for all.
