Join the 2023-2024 PWHR Women’s Health Research Seminar Series, a platform dedicated to exploring ground-breaking research that is driving advances in healthcare for women, trans and non-binary people. Whether they are immersed in bench work to advance basic science, at the bedside, or engage with the broader health, social, and economic policies and systems that shape individual and population health, a fundamental goal of women’s health researchers is to improve healthcare. This free, virtual, and national seminar series shines a spotlight on how researchers from across Canada are bringing PWHR’s vision to life: “Better health for all women, trans and non-binary people through research equity, excellence, and inclusion.”
The inaugural session of this series will focus on Precision Women’s Health and Personalized Medicine. PWHR invites everyone who is interested in women’s health research (researchers, trainees, policymakers, and healthcare providers).
