AGM 2020 took place on November 12th–13th, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we transitioned our 2020 CITAC Annual General Meeting to a virtual conference for the first time this year, and hosted over 100 participants from across Canada.
The theme was “Navigating uncertainty, embracing change and empowering the next generation of clinician-scientists." The meeting provided attendees with a good understanding of the funding landscape, job environment and the development of skills (negotiation, communication, and self-care) to help strategize and develop resilience in the Canadian health research environment. We also hosted Dr. Michael Strong, President of the CIHR, as our Keynote speaker.
The Clinician Investigator Trainee Association of Canada (CITAC) represents the interests of trainees registered in Canadian clinician investigator and clinician scientist training programs across Canada.
