In 2025, the MSK Network will host two summer school opportunities for trainees. MSK Network trainees will only be eligible to attend one 2025 summer school.
- The Wearables and Biomechanics 2025 Summer School (in collaboration with the University of British Columbia’s School of Biomedical Engineering)
- The Health Services Research and Health Economic Evaluation Summer School (in partnership with the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health at the University of Calgary)
Applications are now closed.
Requirements:
- Applicants must be graduate students registered and attending a Canadian post-secondary institution.
- Applicants must be a member of the Canadian MSK Rehab Research Network (If you are not already a Network member, apply here: https://mskrehabnet.com/about/current-members/)
- Applicants will be required to include a 750 word Letter of Interest and a 2-page brief Curriculum Vitae (see the application for more details).
Important Details:
- There is no registration fee for any attendee.
- Funding support will be provided to trainees who need to travel from out of province in order to attend the summer school. Funding support will include your accommodation and $500 for travel from a neighbouring province, or $1000 for travel from elsewhere (e.g., Ontario, Nova Scotia, etc.). Local students may be able to attend without funding as they will not need accommodation or travel support.
- Supervisors are expected to provide a minimum of $500 to help cover travel costs for their students. Any trainee not located in the Greater Calgary area (for the University of Calgary Summer School) or the Greater Vancouver area (for the University of British Columbia Summer School) and that needs travel support must provide written proof that their supervisor is providing $500 support to assist with travel expenses.
