The American Osteopathic Association’s Bureau of International Osteopathic Medicine (BIOM) is pleased to announce its 25th annual global health competition. This year’s abstract competition provides an opportunity for osteopathic medical students and residents to disseminate their global health research and narrative medicine experiences to a broad audience via a poster expo.
Important: For the 2023 program, the BIOM will consider abstracts reflecting work with migrant and/or refugee populations within the United States as programs work to re-implement international opportunities following the pandemic.
The Abstract Competition includes a Poster Expo. All osteopathic medical students and osteopathic medical residents in the United States are eligible to enter the competition’s two categories:
All entries must be focused on the entrants’ experiences with global health and/or providing healthcare internationally or to migrant and/or refugee populations within the US, for the 2023 competition.
Schools/programs must review and attest to approval of each submission. View the complete list of competition guidelines.
