Imamia Medics International (IMI) will be hosting its next Continuing Medical Education Conference, the H.A.B.I.B. Conference, in Toronto, Canada. This will be the first part of a 2 part Conference with the second part in Karbala in 2026, Insha’Allah

H.A.B.I.B. stands for Healthy Ageing Brain Intellect Body, but encompasses so much more in meaning. In this conference we hope to cover topics that pertain to healthy ageing; mentally, spiritually, and physically. We will elaborate on these topics look at them through the lenses of religion, culture, holistic medicine and modern medicine. We will explore chronic disease, end of life, and focus on prevention rather than treatment or management.

With many amazing speakers, including internationally renowned keynote speakers who will give new insights and information on living healthy throughout different stages of life, this is not a conference you want to miss! This event will attract attendees from Medical Doctors, Allied Health Professionals, Nurses, Pharmacists, Researchers, Students and Industry leaders from North America!

The conference has been designed to engage all! IMI Canada’s CME program team has worked extensively to create a program that will engage all specialties, and create value for all who attend.
