Trainee Hub
The Trainee Hub is a new initiative for graduate students, post-doctoral research fellows, and clinical trainees who are members of the Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Children. Trainees will learn from community partners and researchers about the foundations, ethical dimensions, and planning for community-engaged research.
The Trainee Hub provides mentorship in the planning and implementation of community-engaged research by offering monthly in-person meetings. These workshops are being held as hybrid events on Microsoft Teams until further notice.
The Trainee Hub workshops are only open to the graduate students, post-doctoral research fellows, and clinical trainees who are members of the Centre. These members are invited to sign-up below to receive updates about the Trainee Hub events.
The Trainee Hub is moderated by Dr. Priscilla Medeiros, PhD
Knowledge Mobilization and Community Engagement Specialist, Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Children, University of Toronto
