 Erin McConnell presenting her poster at Crossroads. This month, STIC lab members Allyson Gallant (PhD in Health Student), Chloe Flynn (Masters in Nursing Student), Erin McConnell (PhD in Nursing Student), and Emily Devereaux (PhD in Health Student), presented at the Crossroads Interdisciplinary Health Research Conference. Crossroads is hosted by the Graduate Student Society at Dalhousie University’s School of Health and Human Performance. It has grown to a nationwide peer reviewed academic conference with submissions from diverse health-related fields. The conference provides a forum for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration between students and experts in health-related disciplines. STIC lab members provided an excellent example of this with their diverse presentations. Allyson Gallant presented her doctoral work on “Stakeholders’ experiences with school-based immunization programs during the COVID-19 pandemic”. Chloe Flynn presented her MScN thesis work on “Family involvement in the care of a patient with chronic illness during an acute care admission in tertiary care settings”. Erin McConnell’s presentation applied Watson’s Caring Science to the renal transplantation setting to explore how it can be helpful in caring for both patients and nurses. While this presentation is not directly related to Erin’s doctoral work focusing on implementation interventions and strategies in renal transplantation care, her presentation at Crossroads is from a collaboration on a manuscript for publication on this topic. Emily Devereaux presented “Identifying factors that contribute to the identification of medical complexity in a pediatric population”, in which she assessed factors that may contribute to medical complexity in a pediatric population at IWK Health.  Allyson Gallant presenting her doctoral research at Crossroads. Erin stated - “It’s always great to have an opportunity to get feedback on our work and to see all the fantastic research that's going on across health disciplines. Crossroads offers an incredible opportunity for students to network and learn in an inclusive environment”. Great job to our presenters!
