Three Minute Thesis: UBC Medicine Heat

Support UBC Medicine graduate students and learn about their research at the Faculty of Medicine’s Three Minute Thesis heat.

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience. Originally developed at the University of Queensland, the 3MT is now held across the world. UBC was one of the first universities in North America to host a 3MT competition, when it held the inaugural 3MT@UBC in 2011.

Winners from this year’s disciplinary heats will move on to the UBC-wide semi-finals and final in March. UBC’s winner will then compete in a Western Canadian final featuring finalists from the western provinces. The top presenters from the western final are featured in a Canada-wide event.
