Past Students
We are proud of our past students, whose contributions have helped shape the success and growth of the 涩里番 Breast Outcomes Research Group. Many of our past trainees have gone on to pursue advanced degrees in medicine, public health, epidemiology, and biomedical sciences, as well as competitive residencies and research fellowships across Canada and internationally.
During their time with us, our former students were deeply involved in various aspects of clinical research, including data analysis, protocol development, ethics submissions, and scientific writing. Many co-authored publications, presented at national and international conferences, and played key roles in the design and execution of impactful research studies.
We are grateful for their dedication and proud to see them carry forward the values of scientific rigor, collaboration, and patient-centered inquiry into their future careers. Their success continues to inspire our current trainees and reflects the long-lasting impact of mentorship and research training at mBORG.
To see where our former students are now and the paths they鈥檝e taken, please browse the alumni profiles below.
