The Student Symposium (previously known as Research Week) showcases the diverse range of clinical and translational research undertaken by research students at the Women’s.
A virtual Research Poster Gallery will be on display in the lead up to the Symposium.
This year we return to a face to face format. The symposium will comprise of short presentations (3 minutes) followed by 2 minutes of questions, similar to a 3-minute thesis (3MT) format.
