Research Prize
Exploring new osteopathy research topics
The IO-RB research prize was set up in 2017 to showcase the students' research achievements and encourage the emergence of new research topics developed within the Institute. As required by the December 12, 2014 Order relating to osteopathy studies (Official Journal of the French Republic n°0289 of December 14, 2014), osteopathy students at IO-Rennes must produce a final year dissertation in order to graduate as osteopaths. This course unit aims to allow students to examine professionally-related issues in a critical and analytical perspective, by applying a scientific methodology. IO-RB has chosen to highlight this work by showcasing the most relevant dissertation, in the shape of a scientific poster submitted to a jury of course tutors. Scientific posters are visual instruments commonly used in the medical and scientific community. They are used to showcase research output in France and internationally, in order to enhance professional recognition.
