[Bette Coppola]

Dear Colleagues:

I hope this note finds you healthy and happy, enjoying the spring season!

We are happy to announce that the selection process has begun for the TIPS Class of 2014 - 2015.  To refresh your memory, here are some facts about the program, which will be entering it's thirteenth (13th!) year:

*        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, once in New York, once in Washington, DC, and twice at rotating locations.
*        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, school, or residency program's financial support.

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