AAOA/AOF Holiday Hug Applications Open

  • 142 E. Ontario St. Chicago, IL 60611 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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.

Surviving and Thriving in the DMD Lifestyle: How the D.M.D Method can help you become a better spouse and parent

Surviving and Thriving in the DMD Lifestyle: How the D.M.D Method can help you become a better spouse and parent

  • 142 E. Ontario St. Chicago, IL 60611 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We are really excited to host this awesome webinar from point of view we haven’t yet featured in our webinar series.

Presentation Description: 

Living with a physician, raising kids, and trying to live your best life is a professional juggling act.  There’s no good manual and therefore many of us try to figure it all out on our own.  After Curtis Webster, Jr, founder of Dads Married to Doctors (DMD), got hit in the head with a few too many pins, he realized he needed help, he needed a community that understood the DMD Lifestyle.  Fast forward 6 years and Curtis and fellow DMD, Scott McCarthy, have helped 4000+ DMDs apply the D.M.D. Method for becoming a better spouse and parent. 

Come join us for a webinar and Q and A on April 15th, 8pm eastern, as Curtis and Scott teach the D.M.D. Method and answer questions to help us all better understand the VALUE OF COMMUNITY.  

That, as Curtis always says, “Life is Better when WE do life TOGETHER!”

Zoom Webinar: April 15, 7 PM Central time
