The conversation highlights why districts are the foundation of POMA and how getting involved at the local level can lead to lasting professional relationships and meaningful service to the profession.
Key Takeaways:
Districts are the foundation of POMA. They provide opportunities for members to connect, volunteer, develop leadership skills, and elect District Trustees who represent their region on the POMA Board of Trustees and help shape the future of osteopathic medicine across Pennsylvania.
There is something for everyone. From CME and networking to wellness activities, community service projects, sporting events, and student and resident programs, districts offer meaningful ways to engage at every stage of a physician's career.
Getting involved starts locally. Attending a district event is an easy first step that can lead to lifelong connections, leadership opportunities, and a stronger voice within POMA.
