The First Virtual Health Informatics Conference in Canada
This inaugural Canadian conference will be held April 28 -30, 2010 at the University of Waterloo's Health Sciences Campus in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada ... and accessible via the Internet across the globe! The conference will focus on advances in Health Informatics research and education.

The Call for Papers is open. Researchers, educators and students are encouraged to make their submissions and to attend the conference.
The CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE has been EXTENDED to Jan 11, 2010 - 12 Midnight Mountain Standard Time (MST).
