Call for Volunteers

Medical Education Foundation of ACOOG

 

Are you looking for a new way to be involved?  Do you enjoy developing innovative educational programs or social philanthropy?  Being a MEFACOOG Board Member could be for you!  MEFACOOG volunteer leaders can be physicians, educators, non-physician clinicians, spouses/family of ACOOG members, health care industry supporters….anyone with a passion for women’s health! 

Several positions will be open for nomination this year and we need your expertise. The MEFACOOG Board of Trustees meets twice per year with one meeting usually conducted by phone or web conference.  The primary, in-person meeting of the MEFACOOG Board coincides with the ACOOG Annual Conference. 

Key MEFACOOG activities include:

  • Community Service Projects-past projects include work at a youth community center in Chicago, home repairs in New Orleans for Katrina recovery effort, blood drives, and support for a residential home for pregnant mothers in crisis.
  • Resident and Postgraduate Fellow Research Awards and Grants
  • Resident Reporter Scholarships provide an opportunity for residents to attend an ACOOG conference and potential article publication
  • Resident Education Resources (OMM video curriculum, C hallenger grants, L3 for Residents quarterly learning modules)
  • Endowed lectureships for CME (Lifelong Learning for attending physicians)
  • Support for Osteopathic Continuous Certification (Lifelong Learning, Practice Performance Improvement for attending physicians)
