The COMET Collaborative invites students, residents, fellows, faculty, and community partners within the COMET collaborative to the 2026 COMET Conference.

This year’s theme, Power in Partnership, highlights the importance of shared leadership, community voice, and cross-sector collaboration in advancing health equity and strengthening the health workforce. 

The conference brings together learners and faculty from UC Davis, Oregon Health & Science University, and more than 30 residency programs across California and Oregon, along with community organizations and regional partners. It offers a unique opportunity to share innovative work, exchange ideas, and build relationships with colleagues committed to improving health outcomes for underserved communities.
