What is CASCH?

The Campus Alberta Student Conference on Health (CASCH) is a provincial student conference, organized for Alberta students, by Alberta students, with the support of the University of Calgary, University of Alberta, and University of Lethbridge. This conference provides graduates, both senior undergraduates (third/fourth/fifth year) and recent graduates, with the opportunity to disseminate research, network, collaborate, engage in career development, and shape the future direction of health.

CASCH is also a forum for new and incoming students. Attending CASCH is a great way to kick-start your new academic career, generate new ideas, learn from others, and make connections. We're looking forward to seeing new and returning students in September!

The 5th annual CASCH will be held on September 15-16, 2017, at the University of Alberta Lister Conference Centre in Edmonton, AB.

CASCH is inspiring the future of health.

This conference will engage an interdisciplinary group of students from across Alberta in a discussion about current trends and the future direction of health promotion, health care, health research, and health care practices across the province. It will provide a forum for cross- and multi-disciplinary dialogue, where students will share their work, strengthen their networks by meeting colleagues in their fields of study, and develop relations that will enable future collaboration.

Conference Objectives:

To promote student research (proposed, in-progress, or completed) and public or community health related disciplines and provide a platform for students to showcase and discuss work in these areas.
To provide students with the opportunity for networking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and participation in discussion about future directions for public heath research, specifically in Alberta.
To provide information and networking opportunities related to relevant educational and career opportunities within Alberta.
