Generously funded by the American Osteopathic Foundation, the American Osteopathic Association's Training in Policy Studies (TIPS) program is a policy-based program that provides an understanding of current health care policy issues while also facilitating leadership opportunities.

This program serves as an initial leadership and policy program for residents wishing to become more active within the Osteopathic profession. TIPS fellows have gone on to serve in leadership and policy development roles both within and outside of the Osteopathic community. Some have also continued their policy training by participating in the Health Policy Fellowship program, which has produced over 20 deans and college of Osteopathic medicine presidents.

The application is now open: https://aof.org/grants/training-in-policies-study-program-tips American Osteopathic Association
