Have you been working on an exciting clinical education or clinical practice initiative that you want to share with your Northern Ontario colleagues?

You can submit an abstract for a short oral presentation, a poster presentation or a workshop. Abstracts are due no later than March 1, 2023.

Registration will open in mid-March once the schedule has been finalized. We are pleased to provide this event at no cost to those clinicians supporting our Health Sciences programs. Registrants are responsible for their travel and accommodation expenses. The presentations, awards event and dinner will take place on Friday, May 12th. Social and networking events are being planned for Saturday, May 13th.
