The Annual Cascadia conference on Environmental Occupational and Population health brings together researchers to build community and address critical issues that impact population health in our region.
This intimate conference provides faculty, staff, and students a forum to share new ideas and current or evolving research through plenary sessions, short (20-minute) podium presentations, ignite presentation (5 min) and posters, small group discussions, and socializing. This meeting is a great opportunity for cross border conversations and collaborations.
This year’s conference will feature three thematic areas. However, we welcome abstracts on any topics broadly related to environmental, occupational, and population health.
- Impacts of a changing climate on worker health
- Impacts of a changing climate on vulnerable populations
- Climate impacts of infectious disease
