Research in Canadian Medical Schools
Research is increasingly an integral part of Canadian medical education at each of the undergraduate, post-graduate, and independent practice stages of a doctor's medical career. The CanMEDS program of the RCPSC identified 'Scholar' as one of the 7 integral roles a competent physician plays.
But most research in Canadian faculties of medicine is performed not by clinicians, but by professors of the basic sciences relevant to medicine and their graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
Often these researchers obtain funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, or from private sources such as pharmaceutical companies.
