We created the first interdepartmental and interdisciplinary case competition of its kind at McGill University, with accompanying final symposium and publication in the McGill Undergraduate Science Journal (MSURJ). This competition increased awareness of the underexplored field of rare disease, cutting-edge research ventures, and socioeconomic factors pertaining to rare diseases - all while breaking interdepartmental walls of collaboration.Graciously funded by the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Medicine, McGill Alumni Association and supported by the McGill Undergraduate Research Journal, McGill Libraries, and RareDig McGill

At COUHR, we aspire to enable students from under-represented groups throughout Canadian universities with a chance to partake in health and medical research.
