AOA Bureau of Education meets...

The AOA’s Bureau of Osteopathic Education (BOE) met over the weekend.  Among other topics on the agenda, they considered the AODME’s resolution to repeal Resolution 29.  This resolution was approved by the BOE and will now be considered by the AOA’s Board of Trustees at their Annual Meeting in Chicago in July.  By all accounts there was a lively, collegial discussion on the issue of AOA approval of ACGME Training.
An important point to remember, that I cannot stress enough (apologies for the bolding):   Resolution 29 is germane ONLY to the FIRST YEAR of training and ONLY applicable after COMPLETION of ACGME residency training.  It appears that there is continued confusion on this topic.
