Research Day
Our main department forum reflecting our research profile is our Annual Research Day and the Henderson Lecture. Research Day is an opportunity for trainees (medical students, residents, graduate students, fellows, and post-doctoral fellows) to present their research, whether in progress or completed, to the rest of the department. Each year the program includes oral and poster presentations by trainees. Also included in the program is the Henderson Lecture, presented by a senior figure in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, with topics ranging from pre-eclampsia to ethics in medicine. Trainees are judged on their presentations and the JW Knox Ritchie Research Awards are presented for best abstract/presentation by trainee category (view criteria).
About Research Day
Research Day is an annual event within our department that showcases research projects from our trainees in both oral and poster presentations. Topics will cover a range of subjects within the Obstetric and Gynaecology field, and will be presented by over 100 trainees! This is a great way to support our trainees, as well as learn more about current research in your field.
Join us on Friday, May 5, 2023!

What is the Henderson Lecture?
The D. Nelson Henderson Lectureship in Obstetrics and Gynaecology was established in 1965 through the generosity of the Henderson family in honour of Dr. Donald Nelson Henderson, a highly respected clinician-scientist and eminent member of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Toronto General Hospital from 1930-1965. This lecture is an important part of Research Day, providing attendees with a look at new and emerging research.

This is an all-day event. The full schedule including names of presenters and titles of projects is coming soon.
HOW TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
Am I eligible?
In order to present at Research Day, trainees must follow the below requirements:

- be supervised by a primary or cross-appointed Ob-Gyn faculty member at U of T;
- be the primary author of the research, have performed the majority of the research to be presented and completed the analysis.

Trainees may only submit more than one abstract under the following conditions:

The submitted abstracts are on unrelated projects;
-
The supervisory teams are different.

If a trainee’s work is completed or sufficiently advanced, we encourage them to consider requesting an oral presentation. Oral presentations are limited in number and the abstracts of those who wish to be considered will be reviewed by the research committee at large. This option should be discussed with the trainee’s research supervisor.
