Join this upcoming information session in Victoria designed to help non-researchers understand the basics of health research. The goal of this session is to introduce participants to the broad landscape of health research in Canada.
Health research depends on all kinds of people. No matter what your age, whether you are healthy or sick, you can help by volunteering to participate in research in a variety of ways. You're invited to a community dialogue on the development of a new program in British Columbia that will help connect people like you to research opportunities.
