RAMS Fall Retreat: Location and Accommodations

The Fall RAMS Retreat is a yearly 4-day retreat in late November / early December for training and project development for Scholars and their institutional mentors that includes didactic sessions, leadership development, DEIA curriculum, one-on-one mentoring with National Advisory Committee (NAC) mentors to discuss their project, and guidance from the Associate Director (E. Jennifer Edelman, MD) to develop an analytic plan.

The Fall Retreat alternates between Boston and Vancouver, Canada every year. When the retreat is in Vancouver, there will be a special emphasis and focus on harm reduction activities, facilitated by Dr. Nadia Fairbairn, MD. These activities include didactics and local site visits.

Accommodations and travel for Scholars and mentors attending the RAMS Fall Retreat are funded by the program. During the Boston retreat, individuals  stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Boston Crosstown Center.

To request reasonable accommodation for a disability, please notify Jules Canfield, in writing, at least two weeks prior to the conference.
