Women’s and Infant’s Health Research in Progess Rounds (WIHRIP)
Women’s and Infant’s Health Research in Progress Rounds (WIHRIP) are an opportunity for you to present research projects to obtain constructive feedback while the research is in the developmental stages from your peers and from lead researchers within our department.
Funding
Funds are available to help support resident research projects. Departmental grants of up to $1000 can be applied for to provide seed money for projects, as well as to cover publication costs. As well, numerous grants are available for additional funding throughout the academic year.
Residents who have their research accepted to present at academic conferences can apply for up to $2000 of funding to cover incidental costs. Residents in recent years have presented their work at many prestigious conferences such as ISUOG, SOGC, and ACOG and have travelled from St. Petersburg to Singapore and everywhere in between!
Clinician Investigator Program
Throughout your training, the department encourages you to consider obtaining additional research training and, potentially, an academic position as a clinician-investigator. The department, and its members, will facilitate this in the following ways:
