The Tuberculosis Conference planning committee strives to present a quality learning
experience for health professionals focused on tuberculosis prevention and management.
Organized by dedicated volunteers, the TB (Edmonton) Conference is held every two years.
It is our objective that attending delegates will engage in active dialogue with expert TB
researchers, clinicians and decision makers in developing a greater understanding of
current
trends in the epidemiology, techniques, and technologies affecting TB prevention,
service delivery, clinical practice and client care.
