The Multi-Organ Transplant Student Research Training Program is a unique student program, organized by UHN's Ajmera Transplant Centre, that offers a curriculum for undergraduates and students in professional and graduate schools.
Trainees are educated and trained in the foundations of clinical research, realizing the program's mission to integrate education and research training into clinical practice. Through weekly research seminars, discussion forums, direct research training and clinical observations, the program provides students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained through research-oriented assignments to major health services-related projects that will contribute to the growing field of knowledge in transplantation.
Our bi-annual newsletter,
Transplant Connections, showcases the accomplishments of our mentors and trainees.

The Summer Program in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (SPICE & B) is an initiative developed through a joint partnership between the Centre for Renal Research: Information Technology, Innovation, Quality and Education (CR2ITIQuE) and UHN's Ajmera Transplant Centre. The core objective is to nurture the culture of clinical research by building on the current research knowledge base of clinical trainees and staff within UHN's Ajmera Transplant Centre.
The program is a series of well-planned lectures and workshops designed to educate participants about basic principles of epidemiological research design, systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of the proper application of these core principles and their interpretation in clinical practice.
