The Advocates for the AOA, in partnership with the American Osteopathic Foundation (AOF), created the “Holiday Hug” Grant in 2020 to help two medical students or current residents with year-end expenses.   Expenses relating to residency programs and/or medical school can be particularly challenging around year-end Holidays for those who have children to support. Recognizing this, the Advocates of AOA have created a fund to provide assistance to those truly in need.  With the mission of supporting osteopathic medicine, it is our hope that this grant can support you and your family.
