Residents & Fellows Council
The AOGME Residents and Fellows Council (RFC) was established in 2018 to develop future leaders in the osteopathic profession by creating a community and forum for residents and fellows to connect, collaborate and learn.
The AOGME RFC's purpose is to:
- Provide a home for residents and fellows to come together, exchange ideas and network
- Serve as a platform for residents and fellows to voice their ideas and concerns to GME leaders
- Develop future leaders
- Promote well-being along the continuum of GME
- Support advocacy efforts that address the needs of medical trainees

Call for Participants in Osteopathic Recognition Research Study
Call for participants interested in participating in USUHS's study on Osteopathic Recognition.
The Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) is working with AACOM to conduct a first-of-its-kind independent, national, large-scale review of the value, demand and impact of Osteopathic Recognition (OR).
USUHS is currently surveying program directors from programs that:
- currently have OR
- do not have OR
- have withdrawn from OR
USUHS is also interviewing individuals from the following categories:
- Organization level leadership (AOGME, ACGME, AOA, AACOM)
- Leadership from programs that have withdrawn from OR
- Programmatic level leadership at formerly AOA-accredited programs with or without OR
- Leadership who serve in both programmatic and organizational capacities
If you fall into one of the categories above, or if you would like to refer someone you know from one of the above categories and would like to participate in the study please contact the project lead, Marina Shapiro, PhD (marina.shapiro.ctr@usuhs.edu) at your earliest convenience for more information.
