AOA Poster Session and Student Poster Competition
Friday, October 23 – VIRTUAL ACCESS
The AOA Bureau of Osteopathic Research and Public Health holds its Research Poster Session and Student Poster Competition annually during OMED. The Research Poster Session allows investigators to disseminate their research to a broader osteopathic audience. After a competitive Call for Research Abstracts, abstracts are selected for presentation in poster format. Students whose research projects are selected can elect to participate in the Student Poster Competition. During this competition, student researchers present their research projects to teams of judges in a live, virtual format accessible through a link in the OMED app. Cash prizes are awarded to the nine top-scoring presenters. Accepted abstracts are published in The Journal of Osteopathic Medicine.
PLEASE NOTE: Live, online presentations occur on Friday, October 23, from 7 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time. Posters will remain viewable online for one year.
