WCHRI Fall Newsletter 2018

In this issue

What's new

For this edition of the eNewsletter we focus on trainee research projects. Whether assisting their supervisors with part of a larger project, or putting their own research question to the test, trainees are an integral part of health-care research. WCHRI is proud to support students as they turn their passion and curiosity into active contributions in the fields of women’s and children’s health.
