Summer Students

2005 Summer Student Program

The 2005 Summer Student Research Program was a huge success this year.  We had a terrific number of students participate in the program this year with 46 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 had the participation of 40 students.
