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.

But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
