Description
The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) supports clinical and health services research that advances osteopathic medicine and demonstrates its overall impact and efficacy. Research priorities are identified by the AOA Bureau of Osteopathic Research and Public Health and approved by the Board of Trustees. Projects must address osteopathic tenets and the profession’s patient-centered, empathic approach to care, including its body, mind and spirit philosophy.
The program encompasses osteopathic manipulative medicine and treatment (OMM/OMT), pain management, chronic disease, elderly care and patient outcomes. Its scope extends beyond manipulation to health promotion, disease states and the spectrum of patient care. Separate tracks support established researchers, new investigators, residents and osteopathic medical students, with training-focused programs intended to encourage sustained contributions to osteopathic research.
