Save the Date! Women’s+ Health Research Trainee Conference

Save the date!

We are pleased to announce our collaboration with the Partnership for Women’s Health Canada to host a virtual “Women’s+ Health Trainee Research Conference” on June 14th, 2023 from 9AM-12:30PM PST.

This conference will provide trainees with the opportunity to showcase their research on women’s+ health through oral and poster presentations. It will engage trainees across a wide variety of fields, including biomedical, clinical, health systems services, population public health, social sciences, and more — We strongly encourage participation from individuals who are addressing equity issues in women’s+ health! The overall objective of this conference is to build knowledge translation capacity in trainees, facilitate new research connections, and disseminate multidisciplinary women’s+ health research.

We will also have an expert panel discussion, which will include seven-minute informal presentations and allow panelists to share what they wish they had known about working in the field of women’s+ health, and what it is like to be a women’s+ health research leader and scientist. There will then be a moderated discussion where panelists will answer questions and share their wisdom about how trainees can prepare themselves for a career in women’s+ health. These questions will be generated in advance by trainees from PWHR and WHRC audiences.

Panelists:
	Dr. Liisa Galea, Lead, Women’s Health Research Cluster
	Dr. Lori Brotto, Executive Director, Women’s Health Research Initiative
	Dr. Rulan Parekh, Vice President of Academics, Women’s College Hospital

Our Call for Abstracts opens up on March 20th, 2023. The top six abstracts will be invited to give oral presentations, and other eligible submissions will be asked to give a poster presentation. There will also be five awards granted to the best oral and poster presenters.

Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for both the Call for Abtracts and Registration to open up on March 20th, 2023!
