Call for Abstracts
Abstracts are currently being accepted for Oral, Poster and Workshop Presentations for Trillium 2009 Primary Care Research Forum, to be held on June 26th 2009 at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, ON. While we encourage abstract submissions that present completed research, one of the goals of the Trillium conference is to offer a supportive environment for investigators (including trainees) to air their ideas. As such, we welcome abstracts that describe preliminary data or work-in-progress. We also invite submissions from a broad range of primary health care professionals, nurses, residents, and students.
