Come join the discussion with scientific and medical experts and learn more about screening programs and the latest findings in CRC screening research. Refreshments will be provided. Bilingual discussion. Hosted by the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre in collaboration with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
