Work-in-Progress Meetings

Work-in-progress sessions serve as an open forum for all Department of Pediatrics faculty, staff and students to share research projects. These projects can be anything from an initial idea and exploration to a completed study. Presenters are encouraged to use the session to seek feedback from their colleagues. Work-in-Progress sessions are a great learning opportunity for everyone.

The Work-in-Progress sessions are supported by the McMaster Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI) and hosted by its Director.

Sessions take place the first and third Tuesday of every month (September - June) from 8-9 a.m. in HSC 3A14. Please note: sessions begin on the first Tuesday starting January 2010. Until that time, sessions will only be on the third Tuesday of the month.
