IMPROVING CARE
Voice on Health Issues
One of the most important roles we play in the state is serving as the voice
of osteopathic physicians with the state legislature. On a daily basis, we
also play a vital role in influencing health legislation and improving the
quality of care in the state of Michigan. Medicaid funding, access to care
and patient safety are just a few of the diverse issues we monitor. Annually,
we host our annual Capitol House Call, which unites physicians, students and
medical educators with representatives from their districts.
Leader in Medical Education
In addition to our legislative activities, we also host one of the largest
osteopathic continuing medical education conferences, the Annual Postgraduate
Convention & Scientific Seminar. Each year more than 1200 physicians,
students and osteopathic staff and educators attend this conference, which
offers more than 30 hours of category 1-A CME credit through informative programs.
Reaching out to keep our membership informed of current health and legislative
issues, we also produce award-winning publications and a comprehensive website.
Serving our members and improving health care in Michigan are top priorities for us. Along with the numerous activities conducted on behalf of the membership, we alongside our members, continue to serve on numerous state and national health committees dedicated to improving the quality of care in Michigan and the nation.
