Proposed Agenda

CORK (Conference on Osteopathic Research and Knowledge) is a conference designed to lead osteopathic medicine into the future. It is a gathering of all those interested in advancing the field of osteopathic medicine through the use of evidence-based practices. CORK brings together the professionals who laid the foundation for osteopathic research and those who are revolutionizing the field through their trailblazing research. Featured speakers include world-renowned osteopathic physicians, international osteopaths, and research scientists who have devoted their careers to the work of advancing osteopathic medicine. The conference includes lectures, breakout sessions for more personalized mentoring, and hands-on OMT workshops. CORK supports all levels of osteopathic trainees and physicians as they delve into osteopathic research - from study design to manuscript publication. CORK offers mentorship, resources, and the tools to support. We eagerly welcome research scientists who wish to partner with us to spark progress. We also host a student/resident physician research presentation opportunity. If you know students and/or residents that are actively doing osteopathic research- please share with them this incredible opportunity to present and be provided mentorship and feedback from incredible researchers.
