Update on Washington DC Activities
The House and Senate recently introduced the
Training the Next Generation of Primary Care Doctors Act of 2017.
T
he bipartisan bill would reauthorize the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program, which produces primary care physicians who provide critical health care in underserved communities across the country. As this program is set to expire on September 30, 2017, the Training the Next Generation of Primary Care Doctors Act of 2017, would provide a sustainable source of funding to ensure this highly successful program can continue to train the future primary care physician workforce, particularly in rural and medically underserved areas. AACOM, alongside other national associations, led efforts to support the introduction of the House
and
Senate
versions of this important legislation (read more). To add your support to AACOM's advocacy efforts, click here.

Updates on the Transition to Single GME Accreditation System
|
AOA Opportunities Database Updates
The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) online database,
Opportunities, has been listing all currently AOA-approved programs. As we transition to the single GME accreditation system, programs will achieve ACGME accreditation and will drop their AOA approval status and therefore will no longer be displayed in Opportunities. To assist students in tracking these programs, the AOA created a new list of all AOA-approved programs that fully transitioned to ACGME accreditation.
View the Opportunities website to access this list.
In addition, the Opportunities website now also links to an ACGME Public Accreditation Data System (ADS) report that lists programs offering education in Osteopathic Principles and Practice. This list contains all ACGME-accredited Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (ONMM) programs and programs that have received Osteopathic Recognition.
