Registration
Registration is via the conference organizer site and their “Buy Tickets” button. Early Bird Registration just opened and runs until October 31st. However, I can tell you that it usually sells out way faster than that. The price is right: $25-$120 (depending on medical student to staff physician or Non-MDs and early bird status). That is right, non-physicians can also attend.
If you’re a member of PARA or OMSA, please use your member email and codes PARAPFI2026 or OMSA2026 for your free ticket (limited supply).
Charitable Mission
This year’s conference proceeds will go to Scott Mission Health Clinic, which provides accessible, trauma-informed healthcare to individuals and families facing barriers to consistent primary care in Toronto.
