Biography:
The Dalhousie University CSEB Student Chapter is a newly established chapter of the Canadian Society for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, bringing the organization’s mission to Atlantic Canada. As the first CSEB Student Chapter in the Maritimes, we’re poised to provide students with opportunities for education, professional development, and community engagement in epidemiology and biostatistics. Our chapter will engage students from various departments, including Community Health & Epidemiology, Medical Sciences, Medical Humanities, and Statistics, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and research.

We’re planning a range of events for the upcoming academic year, including workshops on CV/resume building, biostatistics, and statistical software, as well as career panels and an Abstract Day. As a CSEB chapter, our members will also have access to funding opportunities for research, discounted conference registration, and a mentorship program with established professionals in the field. By hosting events and activities, we aim to foster innovation, showcase student research, and contribute to the advancement of epidemiology and biostatistics in Atlantic Canada.
