The Council on Research directs the Annual AOA Research Conference, held each year in conjunction with the AOA Annual Osteopathic Medical Conference & Exposition. During three morning didactic sessions, a full poster exhibition and student poster competition, and a variety of meetings and events, osteopathic physicians, professors and students present their research findings and network with other researchers who share mutual interests.
The conference is sponsored by the A.T. Still Foundation and has been held each year since 1956. For more information, view the AOA Research Handbook. (PDF 636K/72 pgs)
