Leadership Programs for Young Physicians, Residents, and Students 

POMA is committed to helping our osteopathic students, resident and young physicians as they transition to practice, develop life-long career skills, and grow their professional network.  We currently host three leadership forums every year - January (Western PA), May (Eastern PA), August (Central PA).

 

2019 Resident and Student Leadership Program

Registration for the 2019 Spring Leadership Program is open and we've moved to a new day!  This year we have devoted an entire day to Residents and Young Physicians during the POMA Clinical Assembly.  On Thursday, May 2 residents from across the Commonwealth will present their own cutting-edge research during two sessions of scientific poster presentations.  In between the poster sessions will be the 4th Annual Spring Leadership Program.

Described as a program that discusses topics chosen by current residents that focus on things you need to know about life after residency that no one ever tells you.  Divided into a morning and afternoon session with a networking luncheon break, the program features TED-style presentations with ample time for discussion and Q&A.  See below for this year's agenda.

Registration is free to all osteopathic medical students, interns, residents and fellows - register today!  Attendees are responsible for the cost of their own transportation and lodging.  Lunch is provided!
