Arizona Chapter of the American College of Osteopathic

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the in-person, live activities normally scheduled for AzACOFP were rescheduled as virtual events or cancelled.

& Scientific Seminars: The live event slated for March 16-22, 2020 in New Orleans was successfully reimagined as a virtual event. ACOFP was one of the first professional associations - national or state - to quickly convert the in-person convention to a livestreaming program. Kudos to the ACOFP staff!

ACOFP Congress of Delegates: The 2020 ACOFP Congress of Delegates, originally scheduled for March 18 -19, 2020, was cancelled. The credentialed Delegates were sworn in electronically and voted on the following items of business:

Approval of 2020 ACOFP Budget Approval of Temporary Bylaws amendment

All submitted resolutions for Congress 2020 will be held for consideration at the 2021 Congress.

All family physicians are invited to join the AzACOFP, a community of Arizona family physicians, residents, and osteopathic medical students committed to osteopathic principles. The Society supports its members through education and networking. Membership is just $100 per year.

To join, contact AzACOFP by calling 602-354-5208 or email acofp@az-osteo.org.
