Events

All CE&B Rounds are now broadcast and archived through Elluminate Live! 

Faculty, staff and students bound by time or place can
now participate in these
important events.

CE&B’s Special Events introduce new research, stimulate ideas, spark debate, and encourage collaboration. We welcome and encourage your participation.

We stage 8-10 monthly Rounds per year, inter-digitated with special annual events, e.g., the Enkin Lecture and rounds/seminars organized by our affiliated research groups, e.g. CHEPA, CEM, and HIRU. Our most important event is the Annual Research Day, an opportunity for graduate students, residents, research staff and faculty members to present their work to their peers and engage with a renowned plenary speaker or two.

Some events occur “spontaneously” through the enthusiasm and initiative of individual faculty members and their visitors. Others are “commissioned” according to opportunity and known events (e.g., big studies about to be published).

Contact Professor Feng Xie, Department Special Events Coordinator, with your ideas and offers to help organize a special CE&B event.

CE&B Research Day

Over 40 Posters from CE&B Faculty, Staff and Students

Our annual research day is an opportunity for the staff, students and faculty of the department to showcase our current research, see and discuss the research interests of other department members, and consider and debate hot methodologic issues. The CE&B world is rich in talent, ideas, and health research projects, and this day provides a key venue for appreciating the broad range of our activities.

Schedule will be posted soon!

The Enkin Lectureship

The Enkin Lectureship

Dr. Murray Enkin, Professor Emeritus of the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and his wife Eleanor Enkin have made many important contributions to clinical research in pregnancy and childbirth, and have been strong advocates for family centered maternity care, for consumers' choices in obstetrics and for midwifery. More generally, they have been advocates of a wider view of science in the service of humanity. They have spent a lifetime challenging clinical and scientific consensus.
