Practical Education for Today’s Family Physician

Thank You for Being Part of Our First Annual Conference!

Thank you to everyone who joined ACOFP-UMW for our first Annual Conference, held September 18–20, 2026, in downtown Des Moines.

Under the theme “Clinical Essentials: The Meat and Potatoes for Osteopathic Family Physicians,” the conference brought together osteopathic family physicians, residents, students, and colleagues from across the Upper Midwest for education, connection, and conversation.

We’re grateful to the physicians and other presenters who shared their time, knowledge, and experience with our attendees. We also thank our sponsors for their partnership and for helping make this conference possible.

And to everyone who attended, thank you for spending part of your weekend with us and being part of this first chapter for ACOFP-UMW. Your participation helped bring our new multi-state organization together in person and made the conference an opportunity to learn from and connect with colleagues across the region.
