VCOM Louisiana Research Day Program

Welcome

Welcome to the inaugural Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine Via Research Recognition Day on the VCOM-Louisiana Campus. Each year, the Via Research Recognition Day is a significant event for VCOM that supports the mission of the College to provide medical education and research that prepares globally-minded, community-focused physicians and improves the health of those most in need. The Via Research Recognition Day offers a forum for health professionals and scientists in academic institutions, teaching hospitals and practice sites to present and benefit from new research innovations and programs intended to improve the health of all humans. By attending the sessions with guest speakers, participants have the opportunity to learn cutting edge information in the physiological bases of osteopathic manipulative therapy efficacy, new trends in physician-based research networks, and how to develop innovative research projects with high impact for human health. Poster sessions allow participants to learn about the biomedical, clinical and education-simulation research activities at VCOM-Louisiana and its partner institutions.
