Every spring, POMA provides an opportunity for osteopathic residents and students to showcase their own research at the Clinical Assembly. This year, we have 43 entries from across the state – Philadelphia, Allentown, Lititz, Altoona – and beyond. Topics range from COVID-19 to dermatology to diabetes, to physical therapy, to eye trauma to OMT.
