Here’s what we want to hear from you.
These are the topics we’ll explore for our 5 core themes. We want interactive sessions for the live presentations, and we encourage creativity. As long as we can deliver it in a virtual format, we want to hear about it.
Learn more about our conference themes.
If you have a story to tell, focused on systems and policies affecting the shifting health landscape or insight from a small, rural or Northern perspective, then we want that too. It could be a podcast!
A quick lesson learned on providing patient-centred care in a pandemic and beyond? It could be a Rapid Fire session! The deadline to submit for an #AFHTO2020 presentation is July 29, 2020.
Is there someone you’d like to hear from? A dynamic speaker? Email us at info@afhto.ca. Contact information is welcome if you have it since warm introductions work better than cold calls.
