Every spring, POMA provides an opportunity for osteopathic residents and students to showcase their own research at the Clinical Assembly. This year, we have 67 entries from across the state – Philadelphia, Allentown, Lititz, Altoona – and beyond. Topics range from OMM for Palliative Care to Babesiosis to diabetes, to Lamotrigine Induce Pancreatitis, to eye trauma to vesicular eruption.

Thanks to the PCOM MEDNet Research Committee for reviewing the abstract submissions and to the PCOM GME office for coordinating this effort.
