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 for the third year NaHSSA is collaborating with the National 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.

This year the conference is being hosted by the Waterloo Interprofessional Healthcare Student Collaborative (WIHSC) from Conestoga College. WIHSC is honoured to be hosting the 3rd annual National Health Care Team Challenge and the 2012 NaHSSA conference. This three-day event, from March 9-11th 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 WIHSC would like to formally invite you to:

On the day of the event, student teams present their plans to an audience of clinicians, academics, community members and students.
