Medical Education Research and Scholarship Day
Faculty Development
3rd Annual Medical Education Research and Scholarship Day
The conference will be held in Regina at the Regina General Hospital Learning Centre. We welcome submissions for oral presentations or posters on any topic related to medical/health professions education. This can be a project idea, work-in-progress or completed research in medical/health professions education undertaken while at the University of Saskatchewan.
This is a full-day event where you get the opportunity to showcase your projects both research and scholarly activities to fellow undergraduate students, residents, faculty and guests; as well as, network with others who share your interest in medical/health professions education at the U of S. We are looking forward to finding areas of common interest: opportunities for interacting with others, creating communities of practice and, establishing a research network. This is an interdisciplinary event and all are welcome.
