Hello Everyone,

The Family Medicine club is excited to announce that we will be offering support for up to 12 students to attend the ACOFP convention<https://www.acofp.org/convention> in Palm Springs, CA on April 3-6, 2025.

What is the Convention?
The convention is a conference of Osteopathic medical students, residents and physicians designed to provide workshops, CME lectures, and networking opportunities. Student specific programing includes everything from OMM workshops, to residency director panels, to navigating the various levels of COMLEX. There are also networking activities like a student hike and a street fair.

What does the Family Medicine club cover?
The Family Medicine club has already reserved rooms and will cover the hotel cost for up to 12 students for Thursday, April 3 to Sunday, April 6 at the Renaissance Palm Springs, where the conference is being held. In addition the Family Medicine Club will provide $100 flight reimbursement.

What are the requirements to go?
In order to attend you must have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA, be in good academic standing, a member of the Family Medicine club, and a member of the ACOFP (which is free for students to join). In order for the Family Medicine club to cover the costs as outlined above, it is expected that most of your time will be spent attending the conference. In addition, you will be expected to attend 1 of 2 lectures that our very own Dr. Pennings will be delivering on Friday.

How do I sign up?
Attached is a flyer outlining the steps with some additional information. First, we would recommend checking current flight costs and ensuring that this is an expense you are willing to take on. Second, you should check your schedule and reach out to relevant administrators that you are able to travel during this time.
