2008 Resident Researcher Awards
Recognizing the importance of encouraging up and coming researchers, the Canadian Foundation for Women’s Health presents an annual award to one resident researcher in obstetrics and gynaecology at each of Canada’s university teaching hospitals. These awards, the recipients of which are chosen by their departments, are for the best research projects in women’s health. Recent awards have supported research in prenatal screening in women with challenging pregnancies and variations in treatments for cervical cancer.
Congratulations to the following residents who were chosen to receive the 2008 best resident research project award in women’s health.
