The CAHH Health Humanities Rounds, launched in January 2026, offer CAHH members access to synchronous, online educational opportunities that bring together scholars, health professionals, educators, artists, learners, and community members working in the health humanities. These interactive rounds create space for shared learning, critical dialogue, and reflection across disciplines.

Upcoming Rounds

Creating Space, CAHH’s annual national conference, will feature four plenary sessions. The conference will be held April 19-21, 2026, in Ottawa. See the conference program for details.

Our regular Rounds will resume in May.
