Geriatric Interest Group

The Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health (CCSMH) is pleased to organize a poster competition at the CCSMH 4th National Conference, September 27 & 28, 2010 at the Westin Nova Scotian in Halifax.

The theme of the conference is “Connecting Research & Education to Care in Seniors’ Mental Health” and we want to showcase students’ important contributions to the study of seniors’ mental health. I’d like to ask for your help in sharing this opportunity with students in the Community Health and Epidemiology programs.

Sponsored by the Geriatric Medicine Research Unit at Dalhousie, winner(s) will receive $250 and a letter/certificate highlighting their accomplishment. We believe this is a unique opportunity to recognize -
and hopefully inspire – students who are committed to the study of seniors’ mental health.

The deadline for submitting an abstract is Friday, July 16, 2010. Attached is an information sheet that outlines conference themes, submission requirements & guidelines, and judging criteria. Full conference details are also available online at http://www.ccsmhevents.ca/studentposters.html
