title: Osteopathic postdoctoral training institutions' 2014 annual report.
abstract: In 2013, the Board of Trustees of the American Osteopathic Association approved the new mission and vision statements of osteopathic postdoctoral training institutions (OPTIs) to ensure that OPTIs were operating effectively as academic sponsors of osteopathic graduate medical education. Since then, OPTIs have made substantial strides in meeting and exceeding the new mandates. The authors discuss the revised OPTI accreditation standards, the OPTI annual report, and recent activities.
