Showcasing Great Research

Dal Surgery Research Day remains the flagship event in the Department of Surgery. It is held annually, and showcases the research taking place within the department. 

Residents, medical students, CIP Students, RIM students, grad students and undergrad students working with a member of our faculty are welcome to submit an abstract for platform consideration.  We receive many abstracts, from across all our specialities; which is a great indicator of the robust research culture we have in the Department. 

We continue to share research being done through clincial perspectives and big data, decision support and medical education, clinical perspectives in randomnized control studies or case study review, and basic science bench work.
