Research Showcase Early Bird Abstracts

The 2023 Dietitians of Canada (DC) National Conference held on 25–26 May 2023 was our first in-person conference since June 2019 and celebrated our unity and resiliency as a profession. It was amazing! The Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research (CFDR) showcased a diverse array of experience sharing and research abstracts through oral and poster presentations, and virtual sessions. There were 23 Early Bird (EB) research abstracts, in which 10 were selected for in-person presentations during the conference, and 19 Late Breaking research abstracts which were posters. Thank you to all who submitted abstracts! Thanks to the dedication and commitment of the Abstract Review Committee members.
