Clinician Investigator Program
We believe resident research has a positive impact on Canadian healthcare. With our community of clinician researchers, CIP can help you reach your MSc, PhD or Postdoc research goals.
Welcome to the Clinician Investigator Program
Dr. Jacqueline McMillan, Interim CIP Program Director
The CIP is a Royal College accredited program that provides trainees who are interested in pursuing a career as a clinician researcher with the opportunity to pursue graduate training (Master’s, PhD, or Postdoctoral training) as part of residency training. Graduate degrees should be purposeful, related to your specialty or sub-specialty training, and support your long-term goals.
As a CIP graduate, I have seen firsthand how the program and the opportunities it created positively shaped my career. Together with our CIP community, I aim to provide Calgary CIP trainees with the same level of support, mentorship, and meaningful experience.
The Future Trainees link at the top of the page explains the program, and how you can apply. You’ll also find links to frequently asked questions, contact information, and other resources.
On behalf of everyone at the CIP, welcome. I look forward to working with you.
