Call for Abstracts - Rural & Remote 2026

Now Accepting Abstracts for R&R 2026!

We are excited to invite you to participate in the 33rd Annual Rural and Remote Medicine Conference (R&R 2026), taking place April 16–18, 2026 in Quebec City.

While attendee registration will open in the fall, we are currently seeking submissions for abstracts to contribute to the success of the event. We invite you to submit your abstract for presentations and hands-on skills training opportunities and add-on courses.

Abstract Submission Deadline: September 30, 2025

Abstract Categories

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.
