Ontario Student Medical Education Research Conference (OSMERC)
This conference, organized by the Ontario Medical Students Association (OMSA), is the first of its kind to feature and highlight medical education research by medical and other health profession students across the province of Ontario and beyond. It is a conference for students, by students. It will take place on March 28, 2020 at the Chestnut Conference Center in Toronto, ON.
Currently, the Canadian Conference on Medical Education (CCME) is the premier medical education research conference in Canada. However, poster and oral presentations are mainly given by residents, staff, or other working professionals. Our vision for the OSMERC conference is to give students from medicine and other healthcare professions, a platform to present their medical education research at a semi-local, provincial level. Medical education research is a rapidly developing field of study, and as students, we are at the center of developments in this field and are in a unique position to translate our insights into scientific investigations!
This event will encompass a keynote faculty address, a poster session, an oral presentation session, and afternoon workshops to help you develop research competencies such as grant writing, preparation for publication, and more. Graduate students in health and physical education research are also encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you all at OSMERC 2020!
