The American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOOG) National Student Society (NSS) invites osteopathic medical students to present women's health research at the 2026 NSS Poster Session. The session runs Friday, October 2, from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM during the 2026 Advances in Women's Health Conference, October 1 through 4 in Fort Worth, Texas.

This is a national stage in front of the audience students want most: ACOOG members, faculty, and residency program directors. The session is non-juried. Every complete submission on a women's health topic is accepted, and members vote for their favorite poster on site.

Who Is Eligible

The session is open to student members of the ACOOG NSS. Osteopathic medical students in a women's health club at their school, or those interested in an OB/GYN residency, receive automatic NSS membership. ACOOG membership is free for medical students and is required before submitting. Presenters also must:

• Register for and attend the Annual Fall Conference
• Stay at the conference hotel
• Be present at their poster during the full session, 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM on Friday, October 2
