CHÉOS Trainee Seminar

This series is intended for CHÉOS trainees as well as the Heart Lung Innovations (HLI) trainees as our guests, together with trainee supervisors and new investigators from these respective organizations. The series format will include an invited speaker addressing one of several career development topics with a trainee presentation to follow.

Presenters of the inaugural CHÉOS Trainee Seminar. From left to right: Julie Pongrac, Firoozeh Gerayeli, Katrina Besler, and Jacob Hutton.

This being the inaugural event, we will follow a slightly different format. Rather than one specific guest speaker we will hear three short talks:

We will introduce TAHLI’s activities, highlighting our Peer Mentorship Program, and inviting members of CHÉOS to learn and collaborate with us.
