| Auxiliary Membership | |||
Membership to the Auxiliary is available to spouses of Osteopathic Physicians. To accomplish our goals, we need your support. The Auxiliary supports the ACOFP Scholarship Program, the students in a Leadership Development Program, and to encourage Auxiliary awareness, the residents in Resident Programs. The Auxiliary is not only a woman's organization. Approximately half of the entering medical students are women and many have spouses or significant others. We welcome and encourage your membership. Without your support and membership, we cannot accomplish our goals to help our Osteopathic Medical Students. We are working to assist each other as a total family unit, and we hope that you will share your interests with your colleagues and friends. Annual Auxiliary membership dues are $20 and are included in the ACOFP dues notice sent to physicians. If you are not a member, we urge you to join. The Auxiliary continues to grow in strength and in dedication always striving to build a stronger and more effective organization. AACOFP’s “Few Good Men Say:” Join the Auxiliary! |

| Scholarships | |||
The Auxiliary annually contributes to the ACOFP Scholarship and Student Loan Program. A $25,000 contribution in the year 2008 will fund twenty-five, $1,000 scholarships to qualified Osteopathic Medical Students. To be eligible for the scholarship, the student must be currently enrolled in a second, third or fourth year accredited osteopathic medical school, a member of ACOFP and active with the school ACOFP Student Chapter. Applicants must intend to enter an AOA approved family practice residency program and must submit letters of recommendation from an AOBFP certified family practice osteopathic physician, ACOFP student chapter faculty Advisor, and a College financial aid office demonstrating need. |

| Student Leadership Development Program | |||
ACOFP Student Chapter officers from each osteopathic college attend the National ACOFP Convention. While at the convention, students gain the information and skills they need to enable them to return to their campuses and ensure that the ACOFP Student Chapters remain active and successful organizations. Auxiliary support enables more students to attend each convention and benefit from the leadership development programs, OMT sessions, Osteopathic Family Practice Residency Programs exhibits, talk to active members of ACOFP about a future in the profession and forge relationships that last a lifetime. Surveys of student leaders all point to attending an ACOFP convention as an important turning point in their decision to become osteopathic family practice physicians and remain active with ACOFP. |

| AACOFP and the AAOA | |||
The AACOFP is affiliated with the Advocates for the American Osteopathic Association (AAOA). The AACOFP provides funds to support a workshop for the Student Associates Auxiliary (SAA) Presidents at the Fall AOA Convention. Annually we grant each of the SAA Presidents a stipend to help defray the cost of attending the AAOA House of Delegates. Other annual contributions are presented to the AAOA golf tournament and to the AAOA Special Projects. The object and purpose of the AACOFP, as a nonprofit corporation, is to promote and support educational activities of the osteopathic profession. To achieve these objectives the Auxiliary to the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians correlates activities with the Advocates for the American Osteopathic Association.
