2021 Student Case Report Contest Now Open

Are you a current massage therapy student with a case report to share? The Massage Therapy Foundation's (MTF) Student Case Report Contest is intended to enhance professional development and research skills.

Case reports play an important role in scientific and professional literature. Writing a case report helps develop communication skills, critical thinking skills, and could contribute to future research and clinical practice.

Since 2006, MTF has offered the Student Case Report Contest to provide an opportunity for students to develop research skills and enhance their ability to provide evidence-informed massage to the public. Cash prizes are available to contest winners contingent on publication of the case report.

Check out MTF’s Case Report Hub to find a wealth of information on submitting your case report.

To participate, log in to the MTF website to submit your case report.

2021 submission deadline is June 1, 2021.
