The General Practice Residency (GPR) Training Program celebrated their annual research day this year on Thursday, June 2, 2011. General practice residents, or GPRs, are licenced dentists undertaking advanced postgraduate training in dental specialties in a hospital setting.
The General Practice Residents Research Day started at the BC Cancer Agency Research Centre lecture theatre with residents presenting their year-long residency research projects.
In the evening, at Brock House Restaurant, an awards and certificates of completion ceremony and dinner was held. Fifty-six people attended—faculty and staff of the GPR program. Fourteen residents completed the General Practice Residency Training Program this year.
