Learn about membership in the MSACOFP

Medical students who are attending an osteopathic college in Missouri and who are focusing on family medicine as their specialty are members of the Society at no cost.

Residents who are in a family medicine residency program in Missouri are members of the MSACOFP at no cost. And if you continue to live and work in Missouri after residency, we will provide an additional year of no cost membership to you which begins the year immediately after you end residency and move into full practice.

Residents and students have access to all of the members only benefits which include webinars, in person networking events, attendance at the annual Winter Family Medicine Update, and student/resident specific programming. 

Here is how we support you on your journey to full practice.

Resources and Leadership Opportunities for Students and Residents

  • Hands-On Clinical Workshops - The Society can help coordinate clinics such as ultrasound, perineal repair, etc.
  • Leadership Workshop - Normally held at the annual conference, there is a special day of programming focusing on leadership and the special interests of students and residents.
  • Scholarships and funding to the ACOFP Congress of Delegates and Annual Scientific Seminar - Attendance at the national conference is an excellent way to learn about how policies are developed, network with your peers, attend sessions just for you and get exposed to many current issues of the day. The Society offers scholarships to help offset travel with a commitment to attend the Congress of Delegates.
  • Board of Governors - Students and residents have seats on our Board. Each FM club student president is automatically a member of our Board upon taking the position of president each year. And we have two resident governor positions to fill each year. Each of these roles has full voting rights which can affect future policies and governance.  
  • Students and resident are encouraged to participate on all the Society standing committees.  
  • Second and third year residents have an opportunity to receive a scholarship through the DiRenna Scholarship Program.
