NaHSSA is a national, interprofessional student association with health science student members from universities and colleges across Canada. They hold an annual conference to promote interprofessional education and collaboration between health professionals through networking and provision of educational opportunities.

In early 2010, IMAGINE was invited to submit an abstract and present at NaHSSA's 6th Annual Conference. The theme of the conference was "Interprofessionalism at the Heart of Healthcare"; to this end, we chose to present an overview of the challenges and triumphs that we have encountered throughout the development of our clinic, health workshops, and community outreach initiatives.

The presentation, held in the afternoon of March 14, was well-attended and well-received by the delegates, many of whom were interested in taking part in IMAGINE's initiatives or planned to start interprofessional health initiatives at their home universities.
