About our Research and Scholarship Forums
91AV's College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (COM) research and scholarship forums are intended to share and celebrate the research conducted by our 91AV COM students. Preparing and presenting a poster is a skill and the 91AV COM Research and Scholarship Committee embraces its mission for advancing research within 91AV COM by supporting our students as they conduct and present their research. Medical students have several opportunities to present their research projects.
