Description:

The AMREP World Health Day Forum is an annual event hosted by the Alfred Research Medical and Education Precinct (AMREP) which includes Monash University, Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, the Burnet Institute and the Alfred Hospital.  The event has been successfully running for six years and normally attracts over 200 people from research organizations, the NGO sector, students, health service providers and Government. This event is a great opportunity for researchers, students and professionals to network, share knowledge and experiences.

This year we are very keen to receive abstracts for posters presentations related to any aspect of non-communicable or chronic diseases that may have been already prepared by researchers or students. We are keen for abstracts that cover the full spectrum from more basic research through to clinical, public health and/or policy-oriented. So this is a great opportunity to showcase your work to a diverse audience. The poster session will be conducted over the lunchtime.

Please send you abstract to iphu-worldhealthday@monash.edu by the 4th of March.
