dc.description.abstract | Faculty Research Day is an inspiring annual research conference hosted by the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS), University of Pretoria (UP). Organised by the Research Office, Faculty Research Day provides an opportunity for staff and students, research entities and partner organisations to interact, share knowledge and showcase their innovative research. As part of the FHS Research Office’s mandate to create a vibrant, enabling and inclusive research environment, Faculty Research Day provides educational opportunities in the form of keynote addresses on topical research areas by experts, thematic oral and poster presentations, as well as workshops that highlight various health science and wellness topics. This annual event also provides networking and collaborating opportunities for students and staff, from different Schools and Departments, to advance the Faculty’s transdisciplinary research mandate. Faculty Research Day involves both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Students gain valuable experience as part of the organising team and as key participants alongside academics. Inclusion of undergraduate students in research and creative activities is one of the FHS Research Office’s focus areas. In addition to deepening students' traditional learning and development, undergraduate research experience allows better understanding of research methods and participation in collaborative projects. Students are able to find their research niche areas and accelerate their research careers. The 2022 Faculty Research Day showcased 24 oral, 47 poster presentations and 118 posters, hosting approximately 750 delegates, exhibitors and speakers. Panel discussions on stimulating topics such as Disruptive Technologies and Lessons Learned from COVID-19, provided a broad overview of topical issues influencing medical research. | en_US |
