Celebrating Excellence in Research
Celebrating Excellence in Research
The ACFP’s Research Showcase is one of the most valued forums to present at in Alberta. Oral presentations and posters displayed at this event are peer-reviewed and selected for their quality, importance, and relevance to family medicine. The selection process is very competitive and often sees a variety of research abstracts across Alberta. In the 2026 submission process there were a total of 54 research abstracts submitted.
Enjoy all of the 2026 Research Showcase Award Winners here!
Congratulations to Our 2026 Reviewers’ Choice Research Award Recipients!
Award recipients are determined through a peer-review process evaluation based on the following criteria: relevance and importance to family medicine; relevance to primary care research and researchers; innovation/originality; clear, well-written description, well-defined objectives, and appropriate learning methods/style. There are over 30 peer reviewers that are fluent within the research community that assist with this process. All abstracts and reviews remain completely anoymous to ensure fairness.
The top 6 scoring abstracts from each category (poster display and oral presentation) are selected for adjudication an adjudication evening that happen prior to the Research Showcase. Winners are celebrated at the Awards Ceremony during ACFP’s flagship conference, the Family Medicine Summit (Summit).
