We are excited to welcome audience members and presenters to join us at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (Chan Centre Lecture Theatre & Chieng Family Atrium) for a full day of podium presentations on April 12.
Now in its 14th year, the event will include presentations by DEM or Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) faculty and trainees on completed or planned research in emergency medicine. In addition, we are honoured to be joined by visiting professor Dr. Eddy Lang for a plenary presentation.
