University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Guidelines for Granting Credit for
Ohio Osteopathic Hospital Residency
program Participation Toward
the Five (5) Year Practice of Medicine Obligation
in the OU-COM Out of State Admission Contract
|
|
| |
|
|
These guidelines
are created in order to help accomplish the
legislative purpose in establishing the Ohio
University College of Osteopathic Medicine and
Section 3337-14 ORC wide its purpose of providing
primary care physicians to underserved areas in the
state of Ohio. |
|
| |
|
Further, in recognition of this goal and to assist
the osteopathic profession's similar goal of
providing primary care to Ohio citizens, credit will
be provided for completed postgraduate medical
education toward the five (5) year contractual
obligation according to the following guidelines:
|
|
|
|
- If an OU-COM graduate who has signed an Out-of-State
Admission Contract in
order to be admitted to the Ohio University
College of Osteopathic Medicine completes an
internship and residency program in a primary
care generalists discipline (family medicine,
general internal medicine and pediatrics) in an
Ohio AOA approved postgraduate program, they
will be eligible to apply for a waiver for one
(1) and one half years credit for each
postgraduate year, provided that the entire
program is completed. If the waiver is approved
their five (5) year obligation to practice
medicine in Ohio will be fulfilled. There will
be no prorating for partial completion of the
postgraduate program. Note: An AOA approved
program is defined as a CORE (Centers for
Osteopathic Research & Education) program in the
state of Ohio.
-
If an OU-COM graduate who
has signed an Out-Of-State Admission Contract in
order to be admitted to the Ohio University
College of Osteopathic Medicine completes a
residency program in a specialty field other
than primary care in an Ohio AOA approved
postgraduate program, they will be eligible to
apply for a waiver to receive credit for one (1)
year for each year completed in the residency
program in a specialty field (based on the
entire program being completed in a CORE
program) towards their obligation to practice
medicine full-time for five (5) years in the
State of Ohio. Graduates completing a CORE
internship prior to their specialty residency
will be eligible to apply for (1) year credit
for the completion of the internship. If the
entire completed postgraduate internship and
specialty residency is less than (5) years in
duration, the graduate approved for a
year waiver will be allowed to 'buy out' the
remaining year(s) of the (5) year obligation,
according to the provisions of the Out-of-State
Admissions Contract signed upon admission to the
college. There will be no prorating for partial
completion of the postgraduate program. Note: An
AOA approved program is defined as a CORE
program in the state of Ohio.
|
| In accordance
with Resolution 1995-1430 adopted June 24, 1995, the
Dean of the Ohio University College of Medicine, in
consultation with the Provost of Ohio University,
may grant such waivers and credit under (1) and (2)
above upon the application and review of an OU-COM
graduate who has met the Guidelines. |
| |
|
| Applicants who
have completed the requirements of either (1) or (2)
above should submit the attached application for
waiver to Patricia Burnett, Ph.D., Office of Student
Affairs, Ohio University College of Osteopathic
Medicine, 014 Grosvenor Hall, Athens, Ohio 45701.
Graduates who do not meet the all (total completion
in-state) or none stipulation (anything less than
the total post-graduate program completed in-state
at a CORE), will not be considered for waiver. (The
only exception considered would be the closure of an
in-state program with no positions available in
primary care in the CORE system.) |
| |
|
|
These Guidelines will be in
effect for all OU-COM graduates in training in
accredited Ohio CORES or enrolled at OU-COM as of
July 1, 1995. |
