About OMeGA

Fellowship and residency programs play a primary sustaining role in advancing orthopaedic professional practice and enhancing patient care. The new environment of increased scrutiny and oversight faced by orthopaedic medical device companies has caused industry funding of GME to be reduced. As a result, educational institutions and teaching hospitals now face an even greater challenge to innovate and sustain high quality graduate medical education programs.

Meeting a critical need
OMeGA Medical Grants Association was established in 2008 to ensure the continued financial support of orthopaedic residency and fellowship programs—the foundational components of orthopaedic practice and professionalism.

Independent. Objective. Fair.
OMeGA is an independent legal entity with a singular mission: To award and administer grants for graduate orthopaedic medical education through an open, accessible process designed to safeguard against potential conflicts of interest and to ensure transparency in the allocation of resources.
