The 11th International Conference on Urban Health (ICUH 2014) will take place next March in the Manchester Central Convention Centre, Manchester, UK and we are looking for enthusiastic medical students to submit their abstracts.

The conference is considered to be the world's premier forum for information exchange between Urban Health stakeholders and you can get the chance to present your work at the conference. Not only will this look great on your CV but it will qualify you for points for the UK Foundation Programme Office.

This year’s theme is “Crossing Boundaries” so don’t think that your work won’t be relevant to urban health. The conference has been divided into a series of work streams and can incorporate many health related topics.

Successful abstracts will also feature in the programme alongside world renowned experts, including:
