Summer Students

2004 Summer Student Program
The 2004 Summer Student Research Program was a huge success this year. We had a terrific number of students participate in the program this year with 55 students. 

The BC Research Institute for Children's & Women's Health funded 19 of these students (listed below) and the Interdisciplinary Women's Reproductive Health Training Program (IWRH) funded 4 students. We had a great group of faculty presenters and the student presentations were extremely well done. Our annual Summer Student Research Program Poster Day set a record for most participants, with 42 students.
