The Summer Student Research Program fosters research awareness and interest for undergraduate, medical and graduate students. Each week, students will receive an email bulletin about upcoming events and their available formats. Attendance will be recorded during each session.
The summer curriculum features a program orientation along with workshops, networking opportunities, and faculty and student presentations. Please see the pages below to find the full session descriptions.

Session Formats
Students will have up to three ways to participate in the Summer Student Research Program. The available formats of each activity will be specified in the program calendar, session descriptions and weekly bulletins.
- In-Person: Students working onsite will be able to attend sessions directly at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute, allowing them to participate in hands-on activities and engage with speakers and other students.
- Virtually: For remote students or those who cannot attend in-person, they can watch certain sessions virtually in real-time. If a virtual option is available, students can find the Zoom link in the weekly bulletins or calendar below. The sessions will either be in Zoom Meeting format (webcams and mics are enabled), or in Zoom Webinar format (webcams and mics are disabled).
- On-Demand: For students who cannot attend a session in real-time, they can watch recorded sessions on their own schedule. While some sessions will be available on-demand and posted in the Video Library, not all activities will have this option due to facilitator preference or unexpected technical difficulties. Sessions that will not be recorded will be stated in the weekly bulletins and calendar below. To have on-demand sessions count towards your attendance, students will need to watch at least 80% of the session. If you have any questions about your watch time, our team can help confirm it with the Zoom watch history reports.
