BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP

to become eligible to apply for the Centre's various
funding programs. (Note:
Not all BBDC members are eligible to apply for all BBDC
programs. For
example, the Archie Sopman program is only open to those
employed at the University Health Network.
Specific eligibility requirements are outlined for
each funding program.)
-
Each
member’s diabetes-related activities and contact
information are posted on the BBDC’s website which
enables local and foreign trainees to locate potential
supervisors at the University, and helps facilitate
the development of collaborative diabetes-related
activities.
-
Membership enables individuals to attend the BBDC’s
Annual Scientific Day and other events which may be open
to BBDC members and their trainees only.
-
Members are automatically added to the BBDC’s E-mail
