ACOFP is proud of its exceptional members and their commitment to excellence and upholding osteopathic values. We are happy to share this year’s winners, who were chosen by members, committees, state societies, colleges of osteopathic medicine, residency programs and the ACOFP Board of Governors.
Due to the cancellation of the ACOFP 57th Annual Convention & Scientific Seminars and all related scheduled events for March 16–22 in New Orleans, this year’s Scientific ResearchandClinicallyAcademicPoster Presentation Competition was held virtually. Over 50 contestants submitted recorded presentations, instead of presenting in person, that a panel of judges scored based on criteria for original research and case reports.
The Poster Presentation competition is sponsored by ACOFP’s Osteopathic Clinical Research (OCR) Committee. Osteopathic medical students, family medicine residents and faculty members are encouraged to present their research during this special display of scientific posters.
