Summer Student Research Opportunities – Academics at Women's College Hospital

The Emily Stowe Scholar Program (ESSP) assembles a community of individuals, foundations and corporations dedicated to breaking down barriers to careers in academics and health leadership. The ESSP is seeking highly motivated, enthusiastic students to participate in the Summer Student Research Program. The ESSP is committed to establishing relationships that support, mentor, and advance the holistic development of diverse persons that self‑identify as Black, Indigenous, or racialized women, 2

SLGBTQI+, two‑spirited, trans, non‑binary, and persons with a disability who have been systemically and historically excluded in health care and health science career trajectories.

This program is designed, in part, to assist equity‑deserving students to achieve equal opportunity in academics and to build pathways toward careers in health leadership in accordance with the Special Programs provision under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

During the online application process, applicants will have the opportunity to complete the Employment Equity questionnaire, to indicate if they self‑identify as being part of one or more of the above under‑represented groups. Answering the questionnaire is voluntary and all responses will be kept confidential and used only for the purposes outlined in this program. If the questionnaire is not completed by an applicant, they will not be considered as being from an equity‑deserving group.

Applicants applying for this opportunity will also be considered for the Summer Student Research Program (#442). Please do not submit a separate application.
Please note applicants who have not previously participated in this program will be prioritized.
