ACOI is excited to announce the newest addition to the Online Learning Center: Digital Health for Practicing Clinicians: A Certificate Program. This course is offered by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) and Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine – Digital Health Track (RVU-DHT), in collaboration with the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP). It includes foundational educational content that will support current and future practicing clinicians in providing exceptional care in the digital era of healthcare.

A tax and spend, or budget reconciliation, bill that passed the House and is now under consideration in the Senate includes provisions that would limit access to medical school loans and loan forgiveness programs — threatening the future of our physician workforce at a time of growing need.

Physicians commit to a career fueled by serving others. What does it mean to integrate that experience into public service? Over the past several months, Zachary West, DO, FACOI, has been finding out for himself. An osteopathic internal medicine physician and longtime ACOI member, Dr. West had the unique achievement of, in 2024, being elected to the office of coroner in Seneca County, Ohio. Dr. West was already accustomed to serving his community as the owner of a local direct primary care practice; he considered this simply a new way to continue doing the same.
