UBC Pediatrics and CIHR host forum and poster competition

Dr. Bob Armstrong, Head of UBC Dept. of Pediatrics, together with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH), will host a panel discussion entitled Scientific Forum on Global Health

A poster-making competition will also be held where trainees (masters and doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows) and clinical residents/fellows studying maternal, reproductive, and child health are invited to present their work.

The competition will be divided into four categories: master students, doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical residents/fellows. Cash awards will be given to the best poster(s) in each category.  A pre-selection process will be held as space is limited to 40. Priority will be given to trainees/residents and fellows working on CIHR-funded research.

Interested candidates must submit the title of their poster and a brief summary (maximum 500 words) to IHDCYH-IDSEA@cihr-irsc.gc.ca no later than April 23. Selected candidates will be notified by April 28.
