NOSM University and the Lakehead Obstetrics and Gynecology Local Education Group are pleased to invite you to the seventh annual Northern Ontario Women’s Health Conference!  This year we plan to be back in person so we can learn and network with our colleagues who provide care in the region.

Our mission, as always, is to bring together remote, rural, and urban primary care providers to network and share information related to Women’s Health in our region.  This year’s conference will bring together regional expertise, complimented with expertise from our tertiary care referral centres to discuss pertinent topics to our patient population.


Who Should Attend

We invite all family physicians, specialists, midwives, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, allied health professionals, residents and medical learners to attend.  We hope everyone will be eager to collaborate and learn together in person.  See you there!
