Trainee Research Presentation Series

The WHRC Trainee Presentation Series events feature short, blitz-style presentations by trainees about their undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral research projects. The event is an excellent opportunity to learn about what the fantastic WHRC trainees are working on, join an engaging discussion about women’s health research, and network with peers. Everyone is welcome!

If you are a trainee who wants to share your research in a low-pressure, friendly environment, contact Kate Wahl (kate.wahl@cw.bc.ca)
