Call for Abstracts – Rural & Remote 2026

Abstract Submissions Are Now Closed

Thank you for your interest in submitting an abstract for the 33rd Annual Rural and Remote Medicine Conference (R&R 2026), taking place April 16–18, 2026 in Quebec City.

The Call for Abstracts is now officially closed. We appreciate the strong interest and the many high-quality submissions received from the rural and remote healthcare community.

Selected presenters will be contacted directly by the Rural & Remote Planning Committee following the peer-review process.

Abstract Submission Deadline: September 30, 2025 (now closed)

Abstract Categories (for reference)

The Planning Committee is accepting abstract submissions for the following session types:

  1. Session Lectures (Breakout Sessions)
    Engaging 60-minute presentations focused on knowledge-sharing, clinical updates, or innovations in rural and remote healthcare.
  2. Hands-on Workshops (Small Group Learning)
    Interactive, skills-based sessions designed for deeper clinical learning. Standard length is 60 minutes, but proposals for 2-hour sessions are welcome.
  3. Add-On Courses (Pre/Post-Conference Offerings)
    In-depth training offered before or after the main conference dates. These extended sessions—half-day or full-day(s)—are ideal for immersive learning in specific skill areas, certifications, or procedural training relevant to rural practice.
