<div class=yiv372920313MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Hi Fellows: Tom Levitan at AACOM recently contacted me to see if Health Policy and/or TIPS Fellows would be interested in serving as a resource on the topic of the health care workforce. Tom explained that AAMC would welcome a greater DO presence at the AAMC Workforce Issues conference – and that AAMC would look well on a proposal for a block of sessions by DOs (four twenty-minute sessions – approximately 1 ½ hours total).</SPAN></div>

<div class=yiv372920313MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">I am getting in touch to see if you would be interested in getting involved in this project. Potential topics could include innovative educational programs that train primary care physicians and an examination of what is it about osteopathic medical practice and training that makes it a good fit for the medical home model.</SPAN></div>
