A decade of CITAC Annual General Meetings: 2007-2017 In 2007, the Clinician Investigator Trainee Association of Canada (CITAC) launched its inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM has since become a major annual event, jointly organized by CITAC and leaders from the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation (CSCI), and continues to provide a forum for clinician investigator (CI) trainees to exchange ideas, advance career prospects and engage with the broader community. Indeed, since its inception, all Canadian institutions with medical doctor and clinician investigator (MD+CI) training programs have participated in the AGM, while more than 1,000 trainees have registered as CITAC members. The 10th CITAC-CSCI AGM was recently held in Toronto (November 20-22, 2017). There were nearly 200 attendees, including CI trainees, faculty member and physician leaders from across Canada (Figure 1A, 1B). Trainees spanning diverse career stages had opportunities to participate in interactive poster sessions, workshops and lectures by leading physician-scientists. These exercises were designed to encourage and enhance networking, career development and mentorship for prospective physician-scientists.
2007 - 2017年 2007年,加拿大临床医师研究者培训协会(CITAC)举办了首届年会。此后,该年会成为一项重要的年度活动,由CITAC与加拿大临床研究学会(CSCI)的领导共同组织,继续为临床医师研究者(CI)学员提供一个交流想法、提升职业前景并与更广泛的群体互动的平台。事实上,自成立以来,所有设有医学博士和临床医师研究者(MD + CI)培训项目的加拿大机构都参与了该年会,同时已有超过1000名学员注册成为CITAC成员。第10届CITAC - CSCI年会最近在多伦多举行(2017年11月20 - 22日)。有近200人参加,包括来自加拿大各地的CI学员、教员和医师领袖(图1A、1B)。处于不同职业阶段的学员有机会参加互动海报展示、研讨会以及顶尖医师科学家的讲座。这些活动旨在鼓励并加强准医师科学家的人际网络拓展、职业发展和导师指导。
