2024 OMED Call for Research Abstracts (Virtual Research Poster Session and Student Poster Competition)

May 1, 2024

The AOA's virtual poster session/competition provides an opportunity for researchers, both new and mature, to share their research with a broad audience. As part of the competition, the AOA Bureau of International Osteopathic Medicine (BIOM) provides an opportunity for osteopathic medical students and residents to share their research experiences as they relate specifically to osteopathic healthcare internationally.  

The virtual Poster Session is integral to the Osteopathic Medical Education Conference (OMED) experience.  Investigators interested in participating will submit an abstract of their research project.  Approved abstracts are published in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine (JOM) online.  

The non-international virtual Poster Session will include a virtual student poster competition.  Students must enter the competition at the time of their abstract submission.

The International Poster Session will include a student and resident virtual poster competition.  Students and residents must enter the competition at the time of their abstract submission.
