Learn about membership in the MSACOFP

Medical students who are attending an osteopathic college n Missouri and who are focusing on family medicine as their specialty are members of the Society at no cost. We believe in you and want to support you on your journey to full practice. That means your membership does not cost you anything. 

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

Resources and Leadership Opportunities for Students

  • 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.
  • 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 and student programming.
  • Board of Directors - the student chapter president or coordinator of the family medicine or primary care special interest group is automatically a member of our Board.  As a member, the student has full voting rights which can affect future policies and governance.
  • Students are encouraged to participate on all the Society standing committees.  

Additional Resources for Students

We know you have questions about many topics which will affect you during your time in school. These are a few resources that may answer questions. We will continue to update this list, so please check back often.
