Symposium to feature
expanded poster
competition
Contest open to
entries from Ohio
and surrounding
states
December 3, 2010
(ATHENS, Ohio) In
2011, the Ohio
University College
of Osteopathic
Medicine (OU-COM),
the Centers for
Osteopathic Research
and Education
(CORE), and the Ohio
Osteopathic
Association (OOA)
are announcing their
first Regional
Osteopathic Poster
Exhibition and
Competition as part
of the annual Ohio
Osteopathic
Symposium.
The event — which
will take place on
April 30 at the
Hilton at Easton
Town Center in
Columbus, Ohio —
will be open to
students, interns
and residents,
faculty, medical
administrators and
practicing
physicians from six
states: Ohio,
Michigan Indiana,
Kentucky, West
Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
Previous poster
competitions and
exhibitions by the
groups were
restricted to those
living, studying
and/or working in
Ohio, said Grace
Brannan, PhD, CORE
research director.
“We want to be able
to include everyone,
not just those
living in one
state,” Brannan
said. “Physicians
and medical trainees
in other states have
something to show,
too.”
Brannan said having
representation from
multiple locations
will generate
cross-collaboration
among different
osteopathic groups
and expose students
to other types of
research.
The poster
competition is open
to students, interns
and residents in two
categories: clinical
and biomedical
research, and case
reports. First place
posters for
students, interns or
residents in each
category will
receive $1,000, and
second place
recipients will
receive $500.
The poster
exhibition is open
to faculty,
administrators, and
practicing
physicians on topics
such as
clinical/biomedical
research, case
reports, health
policy and
educational issues.
The latter two are
restricted to only
faculty and
administrators, and
no prizes will be
awarded.
The 250-word
abstracts for
posters are due by
Jan. 31, 2011, and
should be sent to
the CORE Research
Office.
