The VAST Trainee Committee is running an online Journal Club specific to VCI. This is an exciting opportunity to learn more about research within the VCI field and to network with other trainees doing interdisciplinary research throughout Canada (and beyond). All trainees (undergrads, mscs, phds, pdfs, clinical fellows, med students) are invited to present, and both trainees and PIs are invited to participate and provide feedback.

Journal club is run on the last Monday of every month from 3-4 pm eastern time. (1-2pm mountain time, 12-1pm pacific time, 4-5pm atlantic time).

We encourage all trainees to sign up for a session (1-2 trainees per session depending on format). This will be a low stakes learning and networking opportunity.
