B.C.'s health research month is designed to educate, inform, inspire, stimulate and transform.
Every year, Island Health collaborates with partner organizations to bring together researchers and students, patients and healthcare providers, decision-makers and members of the public to learn, share ideas and spark innovation.
This year's events are a collaboration between the BC SUPPORT Unit, BC NEIHR (Network Environment for Indigenous Health Research), and Fraser, Interior, Island and Northern Health.
This year’s topics include meaningful engagement in research, seniors' health, 10 years into the toxic drug crisis, brain injury, and Indigenous-led health research.
- All events are free and open to everyone.
- All events are virtual (Zoom).
