Call for Poster Fair Abstracts

THE CALL FOR ABSTRACTS IS NOW CLOSED. SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES WILL BE NOTIFIED IN LATE JULY.

The Children's Healthcare Canada's Poster Fair provides the ideal venue for multidisciplinary health professionals and practitioners from primary care to complex tertiary care to illustrate the richness of activity in many innovative areas of child and youth health from regional, national, and international perspectives.

The Poster Fair will feature two categories and authors will be asked to submit their abstract in one of the following:

  1. Scientific Posters: This category is reserved for posters presenting completed projects/initiatives, with realized outcomes. Posters in this category should be able to demonstrate rigorous scientific methodology and significant results. Also, conclusions drawn must be supported by the evidence presented.
  2. Quality Improvement Posters: This category is reserved for QI projects that use improvement methodology. Posters in this category should be able to tell a story using measurable baseline data that shows incremental change over time leading to sustained changes that make a difference in service/program delivery or at a system level.
