*New* BRIC NS Primary Care Innovation & Collaboration Series

Starting in Fall 2026, the Primary Care Innovation & Collaboration Series will bring together researchers, clinicians, patient partners, trainees, and system leaders to explore priority topics in primary care. This series will prioritize small, high-impact, panel-style sessions, focused on dialogue, collaboration, and the development of research and practice innovations.

Through themed sessions held every 1-2 months, participants will explore key issues and emerging opportunities in primary care. Invited presenters and panelists will help frame the conversation by sharing insights from their relevant work, expertise, and lived experiences. All are welcome to attend and participate in the discussion.

Sessions will feature brief expert perspectives, interactive discussion, opportunities for shared learning, and networking across research, practice, policy, and community sectors. Throughout each session, participants will have opportunities to ask questions, contribute ideas, share experiences, and engage in facilitated discussions.
