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. We are excited to begin modernizing the abstract process using the AAOJ’s platform.

Interested AAO, RAAO, and SAAO members are encouraged to participate and submit their completed poster abstract (as article type *LBORC Poster Presentation) and copyright agreement to the AAO. 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. Instructions for abstracts and grading rubrics can be found below in the link to the full criteria.
