Research - Research Day

Residents Research Day

Each year the BCCFP sponsors the University of British Columbia?s Faculty of Medicine, Postgraduate Program?s Resident Research Day.

At this event, second year family medicine residents present their research projects to fellow residents, faculty and guests. The goal of this event is to:

• contribute to the knowledge base of family medicine
• develop and promote an interest in family medicine research
• stimulate original and creative thought based on questions encountered during practice
