CSRT Annual Conference

Call for Abstracts

The Call for Abstracts for the CSRT 2026 Annual Conference is now open. This is your opportunity to share your work with an engaged audience of respiratory therapists and their interprofessional colleagues. Your work can spark new discussions, inspire others, and support the evolution of the profession while enhancing your professional visibility and helping you grow your reputation as a thought leader in respiratory therapy. For more information or to submit an abstract, click here. The deadline for abstracts is September 30, 2025.

What happens next?

Once the submission deadline has passed, abstracts will be scored by the members of the CSRT Scientific Program Committee who bring the perspectives of the various aspects of RT practice across Canada. Scores will be based on factors such as abstract clarity, originality, relevance to practice, adaptability to other institutions, and the extent to which they are evidence-informed. The feedback from the committee is used to develop a balanced program of innovative and exciting topics for the conference.

Scientific Poster Presentation

The CSRT welcomes submission of Scientific Posters on topics of relevance to all facets of respiratory therapy practice for presentation during the Annual CSRT Conference.

All posters will be evaluated by an independent judging team, and the poster deemed to be top poster will receive a $500 award.

Submissions will be accepted from respiratory therapists, RT students, and other professionals whose practices focus on respiratory care. Posters must be evidence-informed and may present the results of a range of scientific approaches including original research, literature reviews, systematic or integrative reviews, quality improvement projects, reports on new programs, or case presentations.

Throughout the CSRT Annual Conference, scientific posters will be displayed for viewing by attendees. Authors will be asked to stand next to their posters for one hour period during the lunch period on day two of the conference to answer any questions attendees may have.
