UNDERGRADUATE HEALTH RESEARCH EXPLORATION (UHRE) PROGRAM SUMMIT 2023

The UHRE Research Summit is held to provide an opportunity for undergraduate students across the Faculty of Health to gain the fundamental knowledge and skills required for their successful research position acquisition.

Through a series of interactive modules over the span of 2 days, we hope to educate our summit attendees on the benefits of getting involved with research towards their personal and professional development and equip them with important and helpful skill sets and resources that will allow them to feel more confident and empowered to seek out for undergraduate research positions including tips on how to professionally reach out to professors, helpful resources for finding research opportunities, and many more. Furthermore, our summit will also provide a networking opportunity with graduate students, alumni and faculty members currently involved in various health based research projects through a panel discussion at the end of the 2nd day of the summit.

Finally, our summit attendees will also have a chance to learn about how they can take the first step towards their professional development by getting involved with KAHSSO as UHRE Research Mentors and officers.
