Call for Abstracts
Deadline: March 5, 2025
Our annual Interdisciplinary Conference in Rehabilitation Science of BC (INCREASE BC) event is on its way, and we want you to be part of it! We invite applications for presentations from clinicians, researchers, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and residents on projects for the rehabilitation community.
The keynote sessions will revolve around the theme of Patient and Community Partnered Research, though submissions from all fields of rehabilitation research are welcome!
This year’s INCREASE BC will be held at the Chan Auditorium, BC Children’s Hospital on April 30, 2025.
This year, you have the option to apply to present your research in a 3-Minute Thesis, oral, or poster format. A 3-Minute Thesis allows presenters the opportunity to creatively share your research and its significance in just three minutes using one slide. Please refer to the UBC 3-Minute Thesis for guidance and examples.
Each presentation format will have its own prize awarded to the best presenters!
All presenters must attend and present their research in-person.
