About us

Empowering clinical investigators, facilitating clinical discoveries.

The Heritage Medical Research Clinic (HMRC) is a dedicated research clinic offering a unique blend of facilities and services to University of Calgary clinical researchers. Owned and managed by the University, the fully-staffed clinic currently supports over 100 studies, with the capacity to support thousands each year.

The HMRC provides researchers with cost-effective access to expert services and over 7000 square feet of state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including outpatient research facilities and nursing services to laboratory equipment and an on-site Alberta Health Services research pharmacy. Facilities are able to support a wide range of clinical research studies and can accommodate both adult and pediatric participants (including those with disabilities).
