OMeGA Medical Grants Association has received a $7 million donation from Zimmer Biomet for fellowship education.
The donation will provide non-conflicted funding for all nine orthopedic subspecialties during the 2020 to 2021 academic year, according to a company press release.
“OMeGA and the programs we support are very grateful for Zimmer Biomet’s generous donation,” Kevin Black, MD, the 2020 OMeGA president, said in the release. “OMeGA also appreciates the support from all our donors because OMeGA’s third-party grant-administration process works best when there are multiple companies supporting each grant recipient program.”
According to the release, Zimmer Biomet has been a supporter of OMeGA since 2008. The non-conflicted support will allow OMeGA to focus the funds strictly on education.
“Training and education for orthopedic fellows is incredibly important for the success of our orthopedic profession,” Andrew Freiberg, MD, Zimmer Biomet’s chief medical officer, said in the release. “Zimmer Biomet is committed to supporting the future of orthopedics through our support of OMeGA, with the largest single educational grant in the history of our company.”
