OMeGA Fellowship & Residency Grants
OMeGa Medical Grants Association

On-going orthopaedic research and sub-specialty clinical skills development are critical to maintain and increase the quality of patient care. Unfortunately, industry support of education has slowed as companies search for an organization that is free of conflicts of interest and meets the increased regulatory scrutiny of industry relationships with physicians. OMeGA Medical Grants Association is DoJ monitor-approved, with safeguards to maintain barriers between industry and educational programs to eliminate any potential of bias.
