New scholarship cycle provides CME support for fellows
OMeGA is launching a new scholarship cycle for the 2022-2023 academic year to provide funding to clinical fellows to attend an ACCME-accredited meeting and obtain CME credit.
OMeGA will award up to one scholarship per orthopaedic teaching institution per academic year.
Scholarships up to $2,000 will be available.
Covered meetings are subject to funded categories. 1
Covered expenses are registration (if applicable), travel, and lodging. 2
Interested clinical fellows must complete a short application August 1-26.
1 Covered meetings are limited to OMeGA's 27 partners and the subspecialties for which we have support. This includes subspecialty categories and a non-subspecialty category that includes AAOS, AOA, ORS, RJGOS, RJOS, MSIS, and ORA.
2 Several societies have shown their support for fellowship education and the registration fee will not be incurred by the fellow scholarship recipient for these meetings.
Visit the Fellow CME scholarship page for more information.
Congratulations to the 2022-2023 fellowship grant recipients
Grants were awarded to 98 meritorious fellowship programs.
Grants support clinical orthopaedic fellowship programs and may be used for a fellow's salary and benefits. (Programs can request preapproval of other direct education expenses if salary and benefit support is not possible.)

A record 27 orthopaedic societies joined OMeGA to approve and sign the eighth joint letter to industry encouraging support for graduate medical education (GME). Nonconflicted industry support of quality orthopaedic residency and fellowship programs is critical to secure the future of the orthopaedic profession.
This letter was sent to current and potential supporters of OMeGA to demonstrate the crucial need for non conflicted, merit-based funding provided by OMeGA GME grants. The letter outlines a brief history of GME funding, defines the role OMeGA grants play in the orthopaedic GME landscape, and calls on industry to provide support to benefit the orthopaedic educational system and patients.
OMeGA Medical Grants Association is the only third-party administrator of grants in all orthopaedic subspecialty categories. Since 2008, OMeGA 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 the last 14 years, OMeGA has received 2,873 applications for residency and fellowship support, and requests from meritorious programs continue to grow.
