[Hlthpol] Training in Policy Studies (TIPS) 2011- 2012

[Bette Coppola]

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I hope this note finds you healthy and happy, enjoying the start of the spring season.

The Training in Policy Studies - TIPS - program is wrapping up its' ninth year, and the selection process has begun for the Class of 2011 - 2012.  To refresh your memory, here are some facts about the program:

*         Year-long certificate program designed for second and third year (OGME 2 and OGME 3) osteopathic residents who are preparing for leadership roles in the profession and positions of influence in health policy.
*         Fellows attend four intensive three-day seminars, held twice a year in Washington, DC, once in New York and once at a rotating location.
*         TIPS seminars focus on topics including access, cost and quality issues, public health policy analysis, health economics, workforce issues, vulnerable populations, and political advocacy and the legislative process.
*         There is no cost for the TIPS program, but estimated expenses are approximately $1,000/seminar for transportation and lodging.  It's necessary for the selected residents to have their state, OPTI, Specialty College or residency program's financial support.


We welcome your recommendation of potential applicants and appreciate your passing information along to interested candidates.

I'm going to repeat what I write fellows and faculty each and every year:  We couldn't do it without you!  Thank you in advance for your support and collegiality in selecting qualified applicants for the TIPS Class of 2011 - 2012.   Hope to see you in Orlando in the fall!


Best.
