Vancouver 2028

Vancouver Echo 9 - June 2026

Scientific Committee

We had 18 candidates submit an expression of interest to serve on the Scientific Committee chaired by Ali Rushton. After a rigorous process of documentation review and interviews the following individuals have been selected and have accepted a position on the committee:

• Prof. Dr. Firas Mourad - Italy
• Sharon Man-Ha Tsang, PhD, FACP, FHEA, FHKCOP - Hong Kong
• Professor Lisa Roberts, PhD PFHEA MMACP FCSP - UK
• Dan Rhon, PT, DPT, DSc, PhD - USA
• Prof. Helen French - Ireland

We were very fortunate to have a large, robust and exemplary group of international researchers apply to serve on the committee. The conference is well poised to bring the international perspective of IFOMPT into the Scientific Program.
