Student Symposium 2024

Section menu

19 and 20 November 2024

The Royal Women's Hospital Student Symposium showcases the diverse range of clinical and translational research undertaken by research students at the Women’s.

The presentations will be run in 3-minute thesis format, with 3 minutes allocated to oral presentations followed by 3 minutes of questions. The sessions will be held in seminar rooms 7D&E.

For the first time, we will be holding poster viewing sessions immediately prior to the oral presentations each day. This is a chance for your peers and colleagues to review the posters and engage with the content before the oral presentations begin.

All students will be required to prepare a poster and give an oral presentation.
