The Canadian Undergraduate Conference on Healthcare (CUCOH) is the largest student-run undergraduate healthcare conference of its kind in Canada. The next conference will be held in January 2024 at Queen's University (Kingston) and hosted virtually. As a conference focused on health-related innovation, CUCOH is proud to offer a Research Competition that showcases the efforts of undergraduate researchers across Canada. Our mission is to create an environment that fosters a vibrant exchange of ideas between students and industry professionals to develop leadership, inspiration, and an understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of Canadian healthcare today.
What is the CUCOH Research Competition?
This year, undergraduate students from across the country will come together at Queen’s University (Kingston) to showcase their research findings via oral or poster presentations.
Posters
Delegates interact with our presenters and ask questions about their research. The poster session is an event block dedicated to these presentations, allowing every presenter a fair opportunity to share their research.
Orals
Our oral presentations are timed presentations given to an audience consisting of general delegates, other oral presenters, and judges. Each delegate is assigned to attend at least one oral presentation session, allowing every presenter a fair opportunity to share their research.
As part of the annual conference, the research competition presents an exciting opportunity for bright undergraduate students to share their original research with national peers and a panel of scholarly judges. Publication in the CUCOH Journal will also allow researchers to reach a wider audience. Monetary prizes and certificates are awarded to the winners and runners-up of the competition categories.
