Welcome to LOMA - "Bienvenue en Louisiane"The Louisiana Osteopathic Medical Association
"2022 ANNUAL CONVENTION" - JUNE 16-19 LOMA was seriously impacted in 2020 and 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricanes which canceled our Live ANNUAL CONVENTIONS! We offered great ONLINE/ON-DEMAND programs to those registered for the live events and those not able to travel. All 2022 ANNUAL CONVENTION registrants will also be able to view live and/or Online/On-Demand recorded presentations to fit individual needs. If unable to attend the live meeting, just select the non-live option when you register. Either way, Online/On-Demand recorded presentations will be available for 30 days.

VCOM-Louisiana opened in 2020 on the ULM campus. Its operation is a huge stimulus to Louisiana’s osteopathic future as its mission addresses physician shortages in rural underserved Louisiana with 81% of the state designated as being a Health Professional Shortage Area by the Louisiana Department of Health. The Inaugural Class of 2024 will soon complete its second class year and will begin year three rotations! Click here to view the amazing campus and take a Virtual Campus Tour. |
