Clinician Scholar Program
Introduction
Are you currently completing a family medicine residency in Canada?
Are you interested in contributing to the discipline of family medicine beyond everyday clinical practice?
Are you wondering what to do for enhanced skills training and have an interest in research?
If you answered yes to these questions, the Clinician Scholar Program offers a third year residency that will provide you with the skills to become a clinician scientist in family medicine.
Offered by the Department of Family Medicine, this unique one year program provides solid training in research methods.
In addition, the program offers an opportunity to complete a MSc degree that will make you a highly competitive candidate while keeping current with your clinical skills.
We invite you to consult our brochure.
Specific Objectives
The Clinician Scholar Program (CSP) provides a salary for third year residency training for those interested in conducting research relevant to the discipline and practice of family medicine.
Residents in the CSP complete the same courses that are part of the MSc in Family Medicine without any additional course fees. Residents may apply for the Masters Program as a part of their application to the CSP and will then have the option of completing a second year as a Clinical Research Fellow to finish their thesis. During the CSP, residents continue to work in a family medicine clinic for a minimum of one half-day per week (and a maximum of two half-days per week) with a group of patients for whom they provide continuity of care. This might be a continuation of their clinical practice from their first two years of family medicine residency, or it might be in a different clinical context that relates to a specific area of interest.
