Supplementary Students

Canada East Spine Centre supports the development of future healthcare researchers by providing mentorship to graduate students and residents engaged in clinical and health research projects. Participants contribute to activities such as manuscript development, data entry and analysis, and oral and poster presentations. These experiences foster skills in research methodology, statistical analysis, and research ethics, while creating opportunities for mentorship, academic references, scholarly dissemination, and publication.
