Canada’s Annual National Health Humanities Conference

The Canadian annual national conference in Health Humanities, called "Creating Space" brings together scholars, teachers, clinicians, artists and their respective students. The meeting is held in a different city each year, typically close to the International Congress on Academic Medicine (formerly Canadian Conference in Medical Education). It attracts speakers and participants from across the many fields that form Health Humanities from Canada and internationally. Founded in 2010, it is designed to be highly interactive and interdisciplinary. Sessions take many forms – formal papers, panels, workshops, performances, installations and posters – and are designed to encourage fervent, critical dialogue and collaboration. Networking opportunities are encouraged and the registration pricing allows those with limited means the chance to attend.

Conference Theme:  Advancing a sustainable pedagogy of the health humanities: Transdisciplinary and transcultural perspectives 

Creating Space 13 will be held in conjunction with the International Congress on Academic Medicine, Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada.  

Creating Space 2023 supports submissions for both online and in-person proposals. Please note that workshops, posters, and research presentations will be in-person only. 

The Creating Space 13 local organizing committee members include: Dr Thierry Belleguic, Laval University (chair); Dr Benjamin Gagnon Chainey, Dalhousie University; and Dr Aspasia Karalis, University of Montreal.
