Osteopathic Physicians  

On behalf of the Louisiana Osteopathic Medical Association, I want to introduce you to the  Louisiana Osteopathic Medical Association.  I invite you to join us and contribute your talents and resources to help LOMA build a strong and viable osteopathic profession in Louisiana.

LOMA is a young and emerging association with a mission and goals designed to strengthen and grow the profession.  Finally emerging from an era of discrimination in 2005, LOMA is flourishing with a new excitement and new projects that will benefit the osteopathic family. Our new efforts and member benefits include:

  • Representation of the Louisiana DO and promotion of the state's osteopathic profession
  • Positive efforts and force in counteracting discrimination through education and marketing
  • Resolution of practice-right and reimbursement issues
  • Monitoring of healthcare issues and regulations that impact the osteopathic profession
  • Assistance with location of employment opportunities
  • CME conferences located in Louisiana with focus on osteopathic physicians including workshops in OMM.
  • Increased partnership & support activites with the AOA concerning specific projects for LOMA.
  • Timely information about the profession and opportunities
  • Active involvement in recruiting and assisting Louisiana applicants to Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and in developing training opportunities in Louisiana for current students and PGME.

You may contact the Louisiana Osteopathic Medical Association office, if you have suggestions for new programs or ways to improve existing programs at 318-385-7943. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Christopher Surek, DO
President

Osteopathic Medicine Achieves Parity in Louisiana

The osteopathic profession achieved a critical victory in Louisiana when a rule change by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME) established parity between the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX-USA) and the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), and between the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) certifying boards and the boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
