Women in Medicine event banner.
On September 29th 2026, to mark World Heart Day, over 90 undergraduate and graduate students met, and learned from leading BHI women researchers from diverse disciplines in brain-heart research.  

The BHI partnered with the Women in Medicine Undergraduate Club (uOWIM), and Canadian Women’s Heart Health Alliance (CWHHA) to co-host an engaging informal career and networking event to inspire the next generation of women in brain-heart research. The BHI is grateful to all the outstanding mentors, and students who contributed their passion and curiosity to making this event a success.
