Welcome to the CORE Leadership Resources section of the web site.
I thank you for your leadership in providing the highest quality osteopathic medical education in the nation. As a member of the CORE governance structure, your vision and initiatives enable the pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees to experience the ‘best of the best’ in osteopathic medical education.
I hope you will find the CORE Administrative Calendar of assistance to you in planning for our leadership meetings throughout the year. As the web site progresses we envision refinements to the calendar and its contents.
Definitions of CORE Membership Levels have been posted to assist
each of us as we enable each partner OGME programs through the consortium concept.
Bylaws and Current Strategic Initiatives are posted for your review as well. We anticipate additional postings to this page as the progress metrics for each initiative are identified and announced.
Please visit the CORE Membership Roster. Each of our partner hospitals has committed to quality medical education programming. As the nation's first accredited Osteopathic Postgraduate Training Institute (an American Osteopathic Association accreditation term), the Centers for Osteopathic Research and Education has maintained a high national profile and leadership position for quality osteopathic medical education.
Thank you for your vision and leadership role in supporting this effort.
Please let me know how we can improve this site to support your needs.
