Osteopathic Health Policy Internship
The Osteopathic Health Policy Internship (OHPI) Program enables osteopathic medical students to spend two consecutive months in Washington, DC at AACOM’s Office of Government Relations. To the extent practical, every effort is made to identify the two-month period that best accommodates each student's schedule. The objective of the program is to allow selected student interns to develop knowledge of federal healthcare and higher education policy and how to have a foundational impact on public policy formulation. The program is open to current osteopathic medical students.
