The 2022 Annual Joint Meeting (AJM) and Young Investigators’ Forum of the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation / Société Canadienne de recherches clinique (CSCI/SCRC) and Clinician Investigator Trainee Association of Canada/Association des cliniciens-chercheurs en formation du Canada (CITAC/ACCFC) was held in Montréal, November 13–14th, 2022.
The theme was “Strength in Perseverance” and featured lectures and interactive workshops that provided knowledge and tools to facilitate the attendees’ development as clini-cian investigators. The keynote speaker was Dr. Michael Strong, who delivered the presentation titled “The Future of Clinician Scientists in Canada.” Dr. Caroline Quach (Université de Montréal) received the CSCI Distinguished Scientist Award and Dr. Amy Metcalfe (University of Calgary) received the CSCI Joe Doupe Young Investigator Award.
Since its inception in 2007, the AJM has continued to grow, and in 2022 we hosted over 90 registered trainees who came from all across the country for the first in-person meeting since the COVID-19 pandemic!
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.
