The ACOFP Foundation and ACOFP have joined together to create a program to support your residents by providing an opportunity for first- and second-year Family Medicine (FM) residents to pursue the osteopathic pathway to Family Medicine Board Certification through the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians (AOBFP) free of charge. First and second-year residents will have two Osteopathic In-Service Exams (ISE) fully paid for over a two-year period. Completing these two prerequisites will qualify Family Medicine residents for the’ AOBFP Early Entry Initial Certification (EEIC) exam.
- The AOBFP In-Service Exam (ISE), produced and administered by ACOFP, is a formative exam that will fulfill ACGME standard requirements. Additionally, the osteopathic component will fulfill ACGME’s OPP/OMM formative assessment requirement for programs that have Osteopathic Recognition (OR). Further information on each formative exam can be found on the ACOFP website here.
- Residents interested in pursuing the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians’ (AOBFP) Early Entry Initial Certification (EEIC) pathway are required to take two In-Service Exams.
