The Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada is pleased to invite you to the third Fellows Educational Course. Two accomplished gynecologic oncologists will discuss topics relevant to fellows, residents and early-career attendings.


During the first hour of the course, we will be reviewing five impactful articles in gynecologic oncology which were published in 2021. We believe that this session will be beneficial to all fellows. The second hour of the session will focus on setting up your research career. A world-renowned gynecologic oncology clinician scientist will share with us insightful tips and advice on how to successfully plan your career.

Learning objectives:

  • Provide tools to Gynecologic oncology fellows, residents and early-career attendings in order to assist them in their research career
  • Demystify the research consortiums, the grant mechanisms, the early-career awards, and how to get involved in clinical trials.
  • Discuss practice-changing research evidence.


This Fellows Educational Course promises to be an amazing virtual session!
