The Child and Family Research Institute is situated on site with BC Children’s Hospital, BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre, and is affiliated with Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children.
The trainees benefit from having access to the largest clinical service of its kind in Canada. We also have strong ties to the University of British Columbia. Coupled with the state-of-the-art wet laboratories at the Institute, trainees have a rich academic environment, whether they are bench scientists, clinician scientists, or clinicians.
The goal of the Research Education Office is to support the development of an enriched, multidisciplinary learning environment for research trainees by providing opportunities to build the skills and knowledge to enhance their health research careers. Through a curriculum of workshops, short courses, and seminars, the Research Education Office seeks to provide ongoing research skills and career development to the Research Institute’s more than 150 trainees (including graduate and postgraduate students, and post-doctoral fellows), and its more than 150 investigators. Along with details of our training events and seminars, the website includes interactive training tools such as online journal clubs, online registration for courses and workshops, and other web-based resources. You’ll also find profiles of trainees with details of their research program, their publications, and other special projects.
