Trainee award winners at Research Day 2025 - The Douglas Research Centre

The Douglas Research Centre and the Department of Psychiatry of McGill University held their annual Research Day on Thursday, June 19, 2025.

As every year, the participation and contribution of many trainees, researchers and volunteers ensured the success of this event! Many short and long oral presentations were given throughout the day, as well as a poster session.

Research Day is also an opportunity to celebrate students who have recently received Douglas scholarships, as well as to recognize the best presentations made that day.

We are pleased to present the winners of the various awards for this 2025 edition.
