2020 Symposium
Embodying the theme of this year’s Graduate Student Nurses Association (GSNA) Symposium, the organizers of the 2020 event took the annual symposium online for the first time, with great success.
The Building and Being Health Leaders morning panel featured Dr. Barb Astle, Dr. Laura Housden, Dr. Cecilia Jevitt, and PhD student Wil Harding. Dr. Elizabeth Saewyc moderated and facilitated a question period. Keynote speakers were Agnes Black of Providence Health Care’s Professional Practice Office, and Emma Garrod, a Clinical Nurse Educator who recently completed her Master’s degree at UBC, and who currently directs the BC Centre on Substance Use Addiction Nursing Fellowship.
During the afternoon session, graduate students presented their research in several “virtual rooms” set up to facilitate discussion.
