Big news for the Concordia School of Health! We are launching our first academic program: the 6-credit Global Health Entrepreneurship Microprogram. See the link below for more information and feel free to contact us if you have questions. www.concordia.ca/academics/gr...

One of the best parts our research conference? Seeing how students inspire each other ✨ We interviewed two poster presenters about their research projects and asked them which other project stood out to them most… and they both picked each other 😂🤝 Guess great minds really do think alike.

Last week, we held the annual SOH Conference - a day dedicated to student research, innovation, and conversations about the future of health. We were lucky to welcome keynote speaker Rabia Khan, founder & CEO of Serna Bio, who spoke about designing the future in an uncertain world.

Research Participants Wanted: Have you had a C-section in the last 6 months - but haven’t had rehab support yet? You may be eligible to participate in an 8-week post-cesarean rehab study exploring approaches to support physical recovery after cesarean birth.

On May 21, we hosted our annual School of Health Research Conference! 🎓✨ Students showcased their research through poster presentations while exploring the incredible work of their peers. #research #conference #posterpresentations #studentresearch

Registration for the School of Health Annual Conference closes at the end of the day on Monday, May 18. Learn more and register: www.concordia.ca/schoolofheal... A special thank you to our top sponsors - CMDO, MSPECS, and Patricia Dudar - for their generous support of this year’s conference.
