Welcome to the inaugural Canadian Anatomy Research in Education (CARE) Conference!

Born from a growing need to strengthen and celebrate the delivery of anatomical sciences and related research in Canada, the CARE Conference is designed to provide attendees with rich and meaningful opportunities to meet new colleagues and reconnect with old friends.  

Our goals are to:

• Strengthen national collaboration by connecting anatomy educators from across Canada to share ideas, resources, research and innovations.

• Showcase cutting-edge research in Anatomy Education, creating a platform for scholars to highlight new findings and emerging trends.

• Exchange evidence-informed teaching practices that support effective instruction, student engagement, and assessment within anatomical sciences.

• Promote professional growth for all participants, with dedicated support for trainees as they develop sustainable and rewarding career pathways.

• Advance diversity, equity, and inclusion by fostering conversations and initiatives that ensure anatomy education is accessible, representative, and equitable for all.

Beyond all of these chances to come together to collaborate, share and learn with and from one another...we look forward to having some fun and building memories together!

Join us May 30-31, 2026 as we meet for the first time in Canada, in person, inclusively.
