Call for Proposals Now Open!
Deadline for submissions: February 3, 2025 at noon
Join us on May 9-10, 2025, at the Delta Toronto Airport and Conference Centre for NOSM University’s faculty and preceptor conference, featuring inspiring plenaries, skill-development workshops, sims, & more to support your clinical, teaching, and academic practice.
Have you been part of an initiative that has changed some aspect of your educational, clinical, or administrative practice? Consider submitting a proposal to present it in a short TED-like talk. Presentations will be allocated ten minutes to present and five minutes for discussion. Initiatives should be simple innovations that solve practical challenges - this is a time to share locally developed tools, strategies, & QI projects that others can learn from and adopt in communities across the North. Faculty and preceptors across NOSM U are invited to apply.
Submissions will be blind-reviewed by the committee using the decision rubric below (download to review) and ensuring representation of our target audience. You will be notified of acceptance by March 3, 2025.
Learners: There will be a dedicated session for learners to present their scholarly and advocacy projects with feedback and the top innovation will be invited to present at the larger Innovations session the next day.
