Benefits of Membership


SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS

The CSCI currently holds an Annual National Meeting, in conjunction with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, profiling the research of clinician-scientist trainees from MD/PhD and Clinician Investigator Programs across Canada. In the current climate of ongoing change in the health care system and in funding for medical research, the CSCI is alert to the need to update and adapt its programs to best serve the needs of its members and the Canadian research community.

AWARDS

CSCI sponsors an extensive awards program for clinical scientists and trainees:

ADVOCACY

CSCI, directly and indirectly, makes representation to the government to improve conditions for clinical research and to augment the CIHR budget. The Society also publicly thanked the government in the recent past for the increase in support for research funding and approval of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR). We did this by means of a public notice in the National Post.

JOURNAL "Clinical and Investigative Medicine" (CIM)

CIM is the official journal of the CSCI. It is rate in the first quintile in the category of general interest journals and is indexed in MEDLINE/ Index Medicus and the majority of other international indexing/ abstracting services. Members are encouraged to contribute their research papers to our Journal. Go to CIM website (Note: You will be leaving the CSCI website)
