Poster Presentations
LBORC Research Poster Presentations
Each year the Louisa Burns Osteopathic Research Committee (LBORC) and the National Undergraduate Fellows Association (NUFA) hold a research poster presentation session during the AAO’s annual Convocation.
Interested AAO, RAAO and SAAO members are encouraged to participate and submit their completed poster entry form and abstract to the AAO. Read the full criteria.
WHO MAY PRESENT
The LBORC-NUFA Research Poster Presentation is open to osteopathic medical students, interns, residents, researchers and practicing physicians. The first author of each poster must be a member of the AAO, the Resident American Academy of Osteopathy or the Student American Academy of Osteopathy. The first author of student and resident posters must be present during the poster judging at Convocation. All presenters should register for Convocation to gain access to the presentation area.
POSTER CATEGORIES
A ram’s head trophy will be presented to the first author of those posters that win first place in each of the three poster categories for the student and resident level in original research, single case study, and education and public health.
JUDGING
Poster judging will take place during the Convocation and winners will be announced at the student awards ceremony and at the president’s banquet on Saturday, March 26. Indicate your willingness to be a volunteer judge when you register for Convocation. For more information, contact AAO staff liaison Debbie Cole at DCole@academyofosteopathy.org.
ABSTRACTS DUE FEB. 1
Download and submit your completed poster entry form and abstract to Kimberly Wolf, DO, c/o Debbie Cole at DCole@academyofosteopathy.org. All submissions must be received and dated no later than noon (12 p.m. Eastern time) on February 1, 2022. Submissions will be notified no later than Feb. 15, of their acceptance.
All authors on the poster will be asked to sign the AAO copyright agreement included in the poster entry form so that the Academy may publish posters on the AAO’s website. Signing the agreement does not prevent investigators from submitting full articles on their research to peer-reviewed journals, such as The AAO Journal and The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.
