Ted Rogers Centre 2022 Trainee Day
This special event integrates a diverse community of clinical and basic science trainees throughout the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research ecosystem.
In 2022, we had over 100 attendees come together to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our trainees, fellows, and staff – the heart of our Centre.
The day featured keynote presentations from Drs. Mjaye Mazwi and Chris McIntosh, a career workshop with brilliant panelists, a poster competition, and a networking session to close the event.
