2013 YIHR Student Research Symposium:
| An opportunity to present and exchange health related ideas at a peer-led symposium |
The York Institute for Health Research
(YIHR) is accepting abstracts for its annual student symposium taking place
on Tuesday March 26th, 2013. The YIHR Student Research Symposium
fosters students from different disciplines to come together to engage
in health-related discussions. In previous years, this event has attracted
a top group of innovative cross- disciplinary papers and lively discussion.
The theme for this year’s symposium
is Critical Perspectives on the Future of Health to embrace an interdisciplinary
discussion on emerging issues and varying contexts that impact the future
of health within Canada and internationally. We hope to use this forum
as an avenue to share critical perspectives on health care systems, pharmaceutical
industry, global health and population health, as well as how the future
of health intersects with culture, identity, economy, globalization, environment
and governance. Some topics of interest include but are not limited to,
social determinants of health, health equity issues, resource sustainability
and women’s health.
We encourage graduate and upper
year undergraduate students from all disciplines to submit an abstract
to Syeda Kabir at [log in to unmask], and Juanita Beaudry @ [log in to unmask]
no later than March 4th, 2013. (we are still accepting abstracts)
