Grants support clinical orthopaedic fellowship programs and may be used for a fellow's salary and benefits. (Programs can request preapproval of other direct educational expenses if salary and benefit support is not possible.) All applications are reviewed by subspecialty experts based on objective criteria including faculty expertise, ratio of fellows to faculty, educational resourced and program emphasis on research.

In September 2017, OMeGA, AAOS, OREF, AOA and 20 other orthopaedic societies joined together to approve and sign the fourth annual US letter to industry to encourage support for graduate medical education (GME). Industry support of quality orthopaedic residency and fellowship programs is, without doubt, critical to secure the future of the orthopaedic profession. To demonstrate the crucial need for the nonconflicted, merit-based funding provided by OMeGA GME grants, and to enlist help from industry, this letter was sent to current and potential supporters of OMeGA. The letter outlines a brief history of GME funding, defines the role OMeGA grants play in the orthopaedic GME landscape, and calls industry to act on behalf of orthopaedic patients and the orthopaedic educational system.
OMeGA is also excited to announce the signing of the first annual Canadian joint letter to industry, which highlights the partnership between OMeGA the Canadian Orthopaedic Association, and 8 other Canadian orthopaedic societies. View the 2017 Canadian joint letter to industry here.
Since 2008, OMeGA Medical Grants Association has collaborated with corporate donors to support quality orthopaedic residency programs and fellowship education. OMeGA grants provide an objective, non-conflicted, transparent funding mechanism to assure continued funding of orthopaedic training--education that is critical to maintaining quality orthopaedic patient care. In its first nine years OMeGA has received 1,886 applications for residency and fellowship support, and requests from meritorious programs continue to grow. In the past year alone, applications for OMeGA grants has increased significantly because OMeGA is the only third-party administrator of grants in all orthopaedic subspecialty categories.
