As in previous years, the research forum included a presentation from the UBC Medical Journal (UBCMJ). The UBCMJ is a student-run academic journal with a goal to engage students in dialogue in medicine. The journal’s scope ranges from original research and review articles in medicine to medical trends, clinical reports, elective reports and commentaries in the principles and practice of medicine. The focus of this issue is clinical genomics.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the event and congratulations to all the students on their hard work and research!
