About CAB IX:
Collaborating Across Borders (CAB) is the premier North American conference focused on interprofessional education and collaborative healthcare. The CAB conference was first launched in 2007 as a venue where educators, clinicians, researchers, policy makers, patients/family partners and students from the United States and Canada could engage to share knowledge, discuss ideas and form collaborative relationships.
The American Interprofessional Health Collaborative and Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative co-sponsor CAB as it travels between the United States and Canada every other year. In 2025, CAB will be facilitated by the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education.
The Call for Abstracts for CAB IX is currently open and will close on January 6, 2025.
