CSJB Research Week 2021
Date: 21 August–4 September 2021 ● Zoom online platform
The CSJB Research Week (CSJB-RW) aims to promote research activities, share research outputs and ideas, and encourage reflection on research values among medical students at Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences. This annual event is part of Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ continuous effort to support research activities at the clinical school. Marching into its ninth year, the CSJB-RW is a platform for medical students to showcase and critically discuss their research projects. These young researchers are expected to acquire essential research presentation skills while promoting their research output and sharing ideas.
Please take note that due to restrictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, CSJB-RW 2021 will be held virtually.
