PROFS PRESENT ... [talk title], formally known as Pizza with the Profs
For upcoming talks please visit our Events page
CBB and Grand River Hospital have pivoted this event to a virtual format to continue the knowledge translation between Researchers and Clinicians.
Sessions are held via Zoom at Grand River Hospital Freeport Campus (Sun Life Town Hall) the fourth Wednesday of the month to promote the exchange of information between the clinical and academic communities.
UW researchers are eager to learn about clinical problems from the Grand River Hospital community, and clinical staff at Grand River Hospital have the opportunity to provide input on academic research to address their clinical needs.
The sessions include a short presentation by a University of Waterloo researcher, an informal Q & A and discussion and of course… PIZZA! (Sorry, no Pizza currently).
If you have any questions, or suggestions for speakers please contact cbb@uwaterloo.ca at UWaterloo, or Sarah Laferriere at Grand River Hospital.
