International Refugee and Migration Health Conference Planning Committee

Pulling off the International Refugee & Migration Health Conference (previously offered as the North American Refugee Health Conference or NARHC), which is usually hosted over 3 days for 1050+ attendees, is a huge undertaking. Our planning committee members are a big help as we create the agenda, select speakers, and determine conference logistics.

About the International Refugee and Migration Health Conference Planning Committee

The International Refugee & Migration Health Conference (previously offered as the North American Refugee Health Conference or NARHC) is the largest global medical conference dedicated to refugee, asylee and immigrant health. Each year, we have refugee health experts from across our network and local to the conference host city join our planning committee. They provide guidance to our conference efforts, help determine conference content and assist with abstract peer review. Faculty are invited keynote and plenary speakers.
