Rising third-year students Jett Murray, Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Kevin Weiss, Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, will spend eight consecutive weeks working virtually with AACOM’s Government Relations department through the Osteopathic Health Policy Internship (OHPI) Program. Part of AACOM’s Leadership Institute, the OHPI Program enables osteopathic medical students to develop knowledge of federal healthcare and higher education policy and deepen their understanding of how to have a foundational impact on public policy formulation. Interns will actively participate in building support for AACOM’s policy priorities, including the Fair Access In Residency (FAIR) Act, increasing National Institutes of Health funding for osteopathic researchers and more.
