The TIPS program is a policy-based program exclusively for DO residents, generously funded by the American Osteopathic Foundation (AOF), that provides residents with an understanding of current healthcare policy issues while also facilitating leadership opportunities. Participants will gain hands-on experience in policy by attending meetings led by experts, drafting policy briefs and papers, engaging in interactive training and attending events that provide leadership and networking opportunities. TIPS fellows have gone on to serve in leadership and policy development roles within and outside the osteopathic community.

The application for this competitive program closes on June 14, 2026. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Scott Zellner, Senior Associate of Public Policy at [email protected].
