Meet Emily Whitcomb from Saint John, NB. Emily is going into her 4th year of KIN Science.
Emily is currently working with Drs. Stephan Dombrowski and Jeff Hebert on a project entitled, "Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of RCT's comparing face-to-face vs digitally remote behaviour change interventions for weight loss. This project is funded by the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation (NBHRF).
When speaking with Emily about the project, she said "what I find most interesting about this particular systemic review is that the results may potentially influence someone's ability to lose weighht or maintain their weight loss. It's a very intiguing topic as there are so many people trying to lose weight and we are advancing the possibility of future success".
This Fall Emily will also be starting her honours project. Her future plans are to complete a Masters in Physiotherapy and then medical school.
