The UNBC Health Research Institute, with input from the School of Health Sciences, School of Nursing, School of Social Work, the Northern Medical Program and other units across campus, are excited to announce the establishment of a regular Health Research Seminar Series this fall. Please join us on September 12th at 1:00-2:30pm for a panel discussion on Indigenous Health to launch the series. 

The goal of the Health Research Seminar Series is to offer a regular place for students and faculty to engage in discussions about current health research from across all programs and campuses of UNBC. The Series will run every 4 weeks during the Fall and Winter semesters. To ensure everyone can access the presentations, each session will be broadcast via BlueJeans and recordings and the PowerPoint from the presenters will be posted on the HRI website. The HRI would like to recognize Sun Life Financial for their contribution to the seminar series.
