The National Health Sciences Students’ Association (NaHSSA) is a network of students and student-led chapters in Canada. NaHSSA and its members promote collaborative patient-centred practice and teamwork through interprofessional education in order to respond to the evolving health care needs of Canadians.

Each year the Association holds a national conference that brings together students, academics, researchers, clinicians, healthcare leaders, and policymakers.

This year NaHSSA is collaborating with the Ontario Health Care Team Challenge, an interprofessional student team event that promotes teamwork and collaboration amongst students. This workshop will be held in conjunction with this year’s NaHSSA conference.

The Interprofessional Student Council (ISC), a chapter out of McMaster University, is honoured to be hosting the Ontario Health Care Team Challenge and the 2010 NaHSSA conference. This three-day event, from March 12-14th is a great opportunity to bring together like-minded students to learn, network, and discuss the future of our healthcare.

NaHSSA in coalition with the ISC would like to formally invite you to:
