The student must be supervised by a Professor/clinician within the Department of Orthopaedics.

This can be done over the summer term but there is flexibility to adjust the schedule to the Resident’s availability during the scholarship term (Spring 2023-Spring 2024). The resident would be expected to present the project at the annual departmental Research Resident Day.

Amount: $2,500 CAD
