2024 Concurrent Sessions

Our concurrent session presentations are organized into 5 45-minute timeslots, one 30-minute timeslot and four themes. To help you plan your conference schedule, we have arranged the sessions by date, concurrent session, time, theme, and title. Please note: all concurrent sessions are in-person only, except those identified as livestreamed below (6 sessions total).

CONCURRENT SESSION SELECTION

Concurrent session presentations were chosen by working groups consisting of AFHTO members across Ontario, representing the full breadth of professions within collaborative primary care. Submissions were chosen for reflecting the conference theme, usefulness/applicability to interprofessional primary care teams, innovativeness, evidence of impact, and clear learning objectives.
