2021 BC Rural Health Research Exchange (BCRHRX)
Date: November 23, 2020 (8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) on Zoom
Call for presenters and general registration now open

After a very successful inaugural event, the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) and Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues (JSC) are pleased to support the second BC Rural Health Research Exchange (BCRHRx), a virtual half-day event filled with brief rapid-style presentations designed to inform, engage and share current rural research in British Columbia. This is not your grandparents’ stodgy academic conference (elbow patches and tweed jackets are optional)! At this event, we want to find out together: “What sort of rural research is happening in BC? 

Researchers, clinicians and trainees (students) from across BC will present their ongoing and/or completed rural health research in a concise, visually interesting and rapid presentation style. Presenters will have up to 10 minutes to present their research work, with up to five minutes of questions/answers from the virtual audience (via the chat box in Zoom). Topics covered will include rural transportation, virtual health, team-based care and cultural safety.
