April 9, 2014 Research Opportunity
Due to my affiliation with Dr. Doyle-Baker I was given the opportunity to attend the 2014 Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Symposium as a trainee. Additionally an abstract for a research poster on some of my current work on the attitudes and beliefs of parents, young adults and physicians regarding vaccination with the seasonal flu vaccine was submitted was presented.
The first day of the symposium was split into three sessions with presentations being given by experts from the University of Calgary’s research community along with invited international researchers. A wide scope of areas was covered focusing on the theme groups of preterm birth and fertility, asthma in children, early nutrition and pediatric cancers. Each of these is an issue which presents major challenges to individuals working the field of Children’s health.
While these areas of research do not completely align with my current research project attending these presentations provided a great opportunity to learn about the current state of the field of pediatrics and maternal health as well as learn from the amazing speakers selected about their own personal research processes – something invaluable to a researcher regardless of their area of study.
As a poster presenter I was further able to interact with many individuals within the context of my own work. Through these communications was given the opportunity to experience a multitude of perspectives many of which lead to the development of a deeper understanding of my own work. Even though it can be a bit nerve wracking at times to talk to strangers about your own work, it was a great experience.
As part of this symposium the organizational committee planned a Trainee Career Development Day the next day specifically the graduate students of members of ACHRI. Presentations were given which ranged from advice on how to succeed as an academic to advice on networking. The day was wrapped up with a presentation on formal dining etiquette training. This was another great experience which allowed for students from a variety of fields to interact in a less formal atmosphere.
From my past conference experiences few rivaled how thoughtfully planned the attendee experience was. Often the needs of the graduate student are neglected but it is evident that the organizing committee kept us in mind providing great opportunities for learning, networking and development.
