ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS THE 3RD OF MARCH 2019 THEMES AND SUBTHEMES Theme: Social accountability: from evidence to action Subthemes: • First Nation’s health • Remote and Rural health • Interprofessional education and practice • Future leaders in socially accountable education and research • Other (use this sub theme if you are unsure of where your abstract fits) FORMATS English is the language of the conference. The conference formats are chosen to encourage active participation by all conference attendees. The conference program will predominantly be based on contributions from the participants. You may submit abstracts for the following formats: • Thematic Poster Sessions • Mini Workshops • Pre-Conference Workshops • TUFH Talks Thematic Poster Sessions The Network: Towards Unity For Health is very proud to host two hour long thematic presentations and discussions where students and professionals, presenters and delegates, can present their work using a poster for visual effect. Thematic Poster Sessions allot 5 minutes for each presenter to present their poster followed by a facilitated discussion among poster presenters and conference participants. The moderator will invite participants to ask questions and to share experiences pertinent to themes brought up in the posters. The posters at the TUFH 2019 will showcase projects that the presenters have worked on for one or more years. The presenter will usually include the timeline, agenda, goals, results, difficulties, implementation possibilities and so on. The projects in the poster session may be on a range of topics and might be in different stages (research project, running project, concluded project or study). The discussion is guided by a moderator who will also facilitate future collaborations based on the projects presented. The presenters of a Thematic Poster are key to the scientific value of the TUFH2019 conference. It’s their projects that attendees of the TUFH2019 conference come to learn about. Up to 40 delegates will attend each poster session. Awards will be given to the best posters as determined by the Poster Award Committee. The ‘Overall Best Poster Award’ winner will receive a full sponsorship (registration, airfare, accommodations) for next year’s conference! Poster Submission Guidelines and Deadlines will be available soon!
Mini-Workshops and Pre-Conference Workshops Mini-workshops and Pre-Conference Workshops are instructional sessions in which presenters teach and discuss particular skills and techniques. The session should accomplish specific learning objectives designed to provide participants with increased competence in some area of importance to the conference theme and goal. The session should include opportunities for practice and feedback. When this is not possible, the session should include a discussion of the covered skills applied in the participant’s settings. Pre-conference workshops are three hours long and Mini-Workshops are two hours long. Both will average 40 participants. TUFH Talks TUFH Talks is The Network: TUFH’s variation on TED Talks. In this unique format, participants give short, powerful talks (3 minutes) that share projects, policies, collaborations, or initiatives in which health, education, or other sectors contribute to a healthier society. The talks are followed by a facilitated discussion among presenters and participants. The number of participants will be restricted to allow for adequate presentation and discussion time; those who are not selected for TUFH Talks will be considered for thematic poster sessions. For an example of a Ted Talk, check out our own Art Kaufman! ABSTRACT REVIEW PROCESS Abstracts will be reviewed by members of a Review Committee. The following minimum criteria will be used: • Adherence to submission instructions • Relevance to the conference theme and goals • Potential for engaging participants in meaningful discussion • Clarity of writing Upon review, members of the Committee will assign one of the following results: • Accepted • Accepted in another format • Rejected NOTE: Identities of authors will be concealed from the reviewers during the review process.

Abstract N° A-1274 Type Thematic Poster Session
Background: Every year McGill recruits almost 100 family doctor trainees, most of whom are at
p
training sites in the Cote des Neiges neighborhood of Montreal, one of the most culturally and
linguistically diverse communities in Canada. Of the 100,000 local inhabitants, the majority are
from lower socio-economic quintiles, including about 16,000 recent immigrants and refugees,
6,000 unemployed persons, 5,000 socially isolated elderly, and 5,000 single-parent families.
m
Objectives: A Community Oriented Primary Care (COPC) initiative was established in 2007 to
strengthen community partnerships and promote social accountability in medical education.
a
Agenda: The main agenda was to better address the health and social needs of the local
population, as well as fostering a more socially aware and effective health workforce.
x
Methods: A steering committee progressively developed and institutionalized teaching,
research and clinical practice opportunities into the mainstream curriculum.
E
Intended audience: The main target audience was family medicine postgraduate trainees.
Content
Intended outcomes: The desired outcomes were for family medicine trainees to acquire greater
awareness and competencies in caring for underserved populations.
Results: Over the last 10 years, this COPC initiative has succeeded in embedding social
accountability approaches into teaching, research and clinical practice. Each year an Annual
Community Orientation introduces incoming trainees to the community they serve, as well as
to community organizations, who are important partners. Family medicine trainees conduct
COPC-related research projects to learn about local community challenges such as hidden
homelessness, food insecurity, poor quality housing, and exposure to violence and barriers to
accessing care. A community outreach clinic established in partnership with local community
organizations further provides an opportunity link marginalized community members with
comprehensive primary health care.
Conclusion: A COPC approach can foster social accountability competencies in the primary
health care workforce, enabling graduates to better meet the needs of the local population.
