Posted Sunday 20 April 2025 | JCU North Queensland Regional Training Hubs

The MED NORRTH (Northern Outcomes in Regional Research, Translation, and Health) Conference scientific conference will allow the opportunity for medical students, junior doctors, and local and national medical and health researchers to showcase their evidence-based research, build connections, and learn more about research in northern Queensland.  

The conference is a collaboration between Northern Queensland Regional Training Hubs (NQRTH), James Cook University's College of Medicine and Dentistry (CMD), and Tropical Australian Academic Health Centre (TAAHC). The aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity to build research networks and improve research skills. 

The MED NORRTH conference will provide a platform for:

• Disseminating and discussing research in a friendly and supportive space (at early career doctor/ medical student level)
• Inspiring doctors to further engage in research and to build research confidence
• Exposure to new research ideas, and to hear about research that is being done by researchers who are working and/or studying in regional, rural and remote settings
• Networking, connecting and building research partnerships with peer researchers
• Helping doctors to improve their CVs and research profiles in preparation for entry into their future specialist training pathways.

The conference will be a one-day in-person event and will offer a range of opportunities to present and learn about research. This event includes oral and poster presentations, keynote speakers, lightning talks, a panel discussion, a hands-on workshop and a networking event.

Conference attendance and abstract submission are open to all medical students, medical trainees as well as other healthcare researchers from northern Queensland and across Australia.
