"As an osteopathic physician, I have never been more excited about the future of osteopathic medicine and simultaneously uncertain of it. It has become clear that there is a need to conduct more rigorous research showing the safety, efficacy and mechanism of osteopathic manipulative medicine. During this presentation, I will present on the need for osteopathic research, different exciting projects that are already underway and resources for physicians to engage in osteopathic research." - Dr. Jordan Keys, DO, MS
