The Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research is excited to announce that this year’s Trainee Day will be held on Friday, June 21, 2024. This special half-day event brings together a diverse community of clinical and basic science trainees throughout the TRCHR 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.

You can expect exciting keynote presentations, a career panel, trainee talks, and a networking session to close the event.
