2025 CIHR-IHSPR/CAHSPR Student Poster Competition Prize Winners
Each year, the Canadian Association for Health Services and Policy Research (CAHSPR) and IHSPR co-sponsor a Student Poster Competition at the annual CAHSPR conference. This competition is designed to encourage trainees to attend and showcase their work at CAHSPR, Canada's pre-eminent health services and policy research conference, and to recognize the outstanding research efforts of up-and-coming health services and policy researchers.
Prizes are awarded to the three top-ranked posters in the amounts of $1,200, $1,000, and $800, for first, second and third prize respectively. Posters are reviewed by a team of expert reviewers who each devote their time and effort to conducting the reviews.
CAHSPR and IHSPR would like to congratulate the winners of the 2025 CIHR-IHSPR/CAHSPR Student Poster Competition:
First prize: Anwar Abdi from the University of Toronto for the poster "Addressing Health Inequities to Prevent Diabetes-Related Amputations - Quantitative Mapping"

Third prize: Suha Damag from University of Lethbridge for the poster "Voices Beyond the Margins: Indigenous Patients' Experiences with Accessing Off-Reserve Healthcare"
