Welcome to the 2023 Northern Health Research Conference!
NOSM University will hold the 18th annual Northern Health Research Conference (NHRC) from Thursday June 1 to Friday June 2, 2023. The conference will be held in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and will be available in a hybrid format, with participants having the option to attend in-person or online.
This conference demonstrates NOSM University’s ongoing commitment to health care and education to the people of Northern Ontario.
The NHRC continues to explore research activities within Northern Ontario arising from community-based activities. It will highlight projects underway from students, residents, and community-based researchers. The conference provides opportunities for collaboration and community networking and continues to be a significant force in the development of a culture of research activity in our area and beyond.
NHRC 2023 will feature a wide variety of oral and poster presentations related to NOSM University's Research Priorities which can be explored here.
