Call for Poster Abstracts – Closed!
Deadline for Submissions 23:00 EST, Monday, October 17, 2022
Join us April 20-22, 2023 in Montreal, QC for the 15th annual Canadian Respiratory Conference (CRC) – the leading national, inter-disciplinary educational and scientific meeting for the respiratory community in Canada!
We welcome the submission of scientific abstracts presenting original research for our moderated poster session and unmoderated poster display. We are also interested in receiving thought-provoking case reports from clinicians and abstracts from young investigators and respirology fellows or trainees.
General Information
To be selected, abstracts must contain original data and meet international ethical and scientific standards. Poster submissions describing projects, training programs, interesting case reports, or other respiratory health initiatives may be accepted, providing their subject matter is relevant to our diverse audience and they provide data (results).
Based on the number of submissions and Covid-19 guidelines, if necessary, only Moderated posters may be displayed in the conference venue poster hall. All poster abstracts will be displayed on the conference app as an e-poster. All accepted poster presenters (moderated and unmoderated) will be asked to prepare an e-poster for display with an optional brief recorded presentation.
Moderated poster authors will be invited to present in an in-person poster session where authors briefly present their posters followed by a discussion led by a moderator. Authors must be available to participate at their scheduled time.
All accepted abstracts presented at the conference will be published in the Canadian Journal of Respiratory, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine and a link will be shared on the CRC website.

Awards
The CTS Respiratory Guidelines Committee (CRGC) Louis-Philippe Boulet Poster Award was created to acknowledge an individual’s innovation in the methodology, development, and/or implementation of clinical practice guidelines.

The CRHP Research Poster Award was created to highlight research of respiratory healthcare professionals who are members of the Canadian Respiratory Health Professionals (CRHP) assembly of the Canadian Thoracic Society. The CRHP assembly welcomes nurses, respiratory therapists, cardio-pulmonary physiotherapists, pharmacists, and other health professionals working in the respiratory field as well as students from these disciplines.
The CLA Research Inspiration Award is presented by The Lung Association. This is an open poster competition for the best poster highlighting a newsworthy Canadian discovery in either basic or clinical respiratory research and communicating that research to a lay audience. This competition is open to students and trainees, including undergraduate and graduate students, residents, and fellows.
