Annual Meeting
Annual PIRN/RRPH Meeting
Our Annual Meeting is a national gathering of clinicians, researchers, trainees, research staff, parent and youth partners, and PIRN/RRPH members who share a commitment to improving the care of hospitalized children. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative planning, participants come together to share research, exchange ideas, and build partnerships that advance pediatric hospital medicine across Canada.
The meeting provides an opportunity to showcase ongoing and emerging research, receive feedback on protocols and projects in development, learn from experts, and help shape the future direction of PIRN and RRPH. It also serves as a valuable space for networking, mentorship, and collaboration, highlighting the contributions of investigators, trainees, and parent/youth partners while fostering connections across the pediatric hospital medicine community.
