We wish to recognize the efforts of all the medical students who participated in the presentations. We were grateful for the UNE COM faculty and MOA clinicians who volunteered to judge the students’ pre-recorded video presentations.  We recognize the UNE COM Research and Scholarship Committee who reviewed the abstracts and helped organize this annual event.  We are particularly grateful to the Maine Osteopathic Association for providing this research and scholarship opportunity and for sponsoring the student prizes.
