Dear Dr. Heather Phipps,
The Student Association of the American College of Osteopathic Physicians (SAACOFP) at Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Northwest (COMP-NW) would like to encourage you to consider applying for ACGME Single Accreditation. There are many of us who would like the opportunity to continue our osteopathic education after graduation. Our reasons for encouraging this include the huge need of primary care physicians in our community and the shortage of residencies.
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to reach out to us by email [email protected]. We would love to further discuss this with you, and we would be willing to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
The students of COMP-NW
As a native of rural Northeastern Oregon, I have always dreamed of returning to my roots and serving a rural community as a Family Medicine physician. The opportunity for myself and my peers to serve the members of your community could be possible if you apply for ACGME accreditation. There are numerous enthusiastic and compassionate future clinicians who wish to practice in rural and undeserved communities yet residencies in these areas are scarce. Fortunately, you have the power to help change this alarming reality. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Jessica Roberts, OMS-I
