Osteopathic Research

National Academy of Osteopathy students begin work on a research project (thesis) to be finished prior to graduation. Students register a clinical research topic. The registered research project for this class is a literature synthesis. This course is self directed.

Here are some of the chosen research papers National Academy of Osteopathy students have prepared as a requirement for the completion of the Investigative Project (thesis) course (TH 980). Please visit this page regularly as papers will be added regularly as they are received.
