Hopes, Dreams, and Nightmares: A mentorship and networking event for trainees engaged in health research

Posted inEvents

The WHRI will be hosting an IN-PERSON Mentorship & Networking event called “Hopes, Dreams, and Nightmares” on March 9th from 1:30pm – 3:30pm. 

This is an occasion for trainees to participate in small group discussions & networking opportunities with a diverse group of mentors. The event is being hosted as part of the 7th Annual Women’s Health Research Symposium.

Trainees will have the opportunity to choose two break-out sessions with mentors covering select topics:

  • Research pathways for clinician-scientists; 
  • Transitioning from grad student to postdoc to the tenure-track;
  • PhD to public service;
  • Gender biases in publication and how to overcome them; 
  • PhD to provincial, national and international women’s health research knowledge mobilization;
  • What good mentorship looks like;
  • Frustrations, fears, and failures

Trainees can register for this event through the Symposium link. An email will be sent to registrants confirming the topics they are most interested in speaking to a mentor and other trainees about.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
