After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, now is your chance to give back to your specialty and participate in Giving Tuesday! The OAFP Foundation (Foundation) works to cultivate student career choice in the specialty of family medicine and ensure a thriving family physician workforce for Ohio. Foundation programs have benefited thousands of Ohio medical students and residents through educational grants, preceptorship stipends, and scholarships to provide meaningful, family medicine-focused experiences.
We are so thankful for the support of our individual donors, corporate members, and other partners who make possible the widespread success of the Foundation year after year. For a successful plan and growth moving forward, we need you!
