Staying Ahead of the Curve: Ontario Public Health Convention (TOPHC)
The Ontario Public Health Convention (TOPHC) is hosted jointly by Public Health Ontario, the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA), and the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (alPHa).
TOPHC aims to advance public health in Ontario by increasing the knowledge and skills in the workforce and attracts government stakeholders from local, provincial and federal levels, and front-line public health professionals, such as health promoters, epidemiologists, public health nurses, physicians, researchers, policy makers and other groups to register. TOPHC includes an exciting mix of both research presentations that share new knowledge and educational workshops that build and refine practical skills.
