Global Health Night / Friesen Lecture 2023 - Poster Fair Abstract Submissions

The 15th annual McGill Global Health Night / Friesen Lecture will take place on Thursday, November 9, 2023, in the New Residence Hall Ballroom and online. The event will include a Student Poster Fair (in-person only) to showcase McGill student involvement in global health research and other global health initiatives. The annual Student Poster Fair is an excellent opportunity for you to network and share your work.

Call For Poster Abstracts

Students are now welcome to submit poster abstracts via the form below. Poster abstracts are encouraged from McGill students, residents and postdocs from all fields with relevance to global health including (but not limited to) communicable and non-communicable diseases, education and capacity building, policy, governance and economics, determinants of health (social, environmental and otherwise), innovations and technologies. You can view examples of past Global Health Night posters from the 2020 and 2021 galleries. Abstracts and posters must fall into one of three categories:

  1. Global health research: Global health research led by student(s) -- see an example of a research poster
  2. Global health initiatives: Programs and missions undertaken by groups -- see an example of a global health initiative poster
  3. Global health clinical placements: Supervised practice in approved clinical situations for clinical students -- see an example of a clinical placement poster

In the event that an abstract falls under more than one category, please choose the most appropriate one.

Deadline

The deadline for submission of poster abstracts is Sunday, October 1, 2023, at 11:59 PM.

Eligible participants include current McGill undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students, postdocs and residents registered in any field of study.

Selection

Poster abstracts will be evaluated by the Global Health Programs office for acceptance into the Student Poster Fair. In order for your abstract to be accepted, you need to clearly establish the connection between your work and outcomes related to global health or population health if it is not obvious. You will be notified of the results by mid-October 2023.

If you want to get a head start on your poster, you can find general guidelines on our website. More detailed guidelines will be shared with those who are selected to present at the Poster Fair.

McGill University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. McGill honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
