“As osteopathic medical students and future DOs, it’s important to contribute to the field of osteopathy and to stay up to date on current best practices."
RVU students put their research presentation skills into practice during the 3rd annual Spring Research Day across all three campuses.
Students presented more than 70 posters at RVU-MT and approximately 80 posters each at RVU-CO and RVU-UT, sharing research projects with faculty, staff, and fellow students.
One featured project explored the use of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) as a treatment for anxiety. Student researcher Kelsey Lacy, OMS-III, and her team developed a clinical trial focused on affordable, accessible, and non-pharmacologic treatment options. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4dLh8nU
