Although submissions dealing with any aspect of learner and/or physician health and wellness are welcome, we are particularly interested in submissions that focus on this year’s conference theme:

Improving well-being through the power of connections.

In addition to the conference theme, we are interested in submissions that consider one or more of the following sub-themes:

• Systems connections: Examples include research and initiatives focused on improving physician mobility and communication between health system technology and/or procedures.
• Human connections: Examples include development and/or delivery of health and wellness programs and support services, treatment strategies, and innovative wellness solutions, peer support programs or information sharing.
• Procedures and operations: Examples include implementation of physical, psychological and cultural safety programs and/or initiatives and strategies for enhancing equity, diversity and inclusion in medicine.
• Inter-professional: Examples include data and evidence-based innovative models of care, team-based care frameworks and implementation of more efficient communication practices between care teams and allied health care staff.
• Social-technical: Examples include simplifying and/or decreasing administrative work and documentation, digital health tools and their integration into physician workflow, and improving practice efficiency through technology and innovation.

Relational to the main theme and/or sub-theme(s) will be taken into consideration during the evaluation and final selection process.

Please note submissions for all abstracts must be made electronically through the ICPH 2024 online abstract submission portal. Submissions must be received by Friday, April 26, 2024 (11:59 p.m. ET) to be considered. Corresponding authors will be notified of the decision on their submission by late May 2024.
