We’re pleased to share that Summer Student Research Week is back from July 18 -22 this year!
Join us virtually, every day from 12 – 1 p.m., to hear about the exciting work WCH’s Summer Research Students have conducted in 2022.
This year we have 45 students giving presentations on their research projects across a variety of specialties from breast cancer research to Indigenous health research.
Through the Summer Student Research Program (SSRP), undergraduate, graduate and medical students are partnered with WCH scientists and clinical researchers where they are immersed in research for 12 to 16 weeks. All students have been working closely with Team WCH on their research projects, while also learning and developing practical research skills to help prepare them for their future careers and learning journeys.
