A personal review of medical research in Canadian medical schools over the past 25 years reveals extraordinary contributions. Over this time, medical research evolved from a by-product of faculty members to a commitment that determines the future success of a medical faculty. The increasing competition for health research funding and the high standards created internationally have changed the way research is organized in our medical faculties. Current trends include a move toward group and thematic research, an increased role of research institutes and the development of strategic partnerships with industry. Because of the need for more planning and more critical and timely review of research efforts, the benefits of collaboration enhance the quality and competitiveness of a medical faculty. A broadened vision of the Medical Research Council and provincial foundations and the need to increase resources for research foreshadow even greater change.
对加拿大医学院过去25年医学研究的个人回顾揭示了非凡的贡献。在这段时间里，医学研究从教职员工的副业发展成为决定医学院未来成功的一项重要工作。健康研究资金竞争的加剧以及国际上设定的高标准改变了我们医学院组织研究的方式。当前的趋势包括向团队和专题研究的转变、研究机构作用的增强以及与行业战略伙伴关系的发展。由于需要对研究工作进行更多规划以及更严格和及时的审查，合作的益处提高了医学院的质量和竞争力。医学研究理事会和省级基金会的视野拓宽以及增加研究资源的需求预示着更大的变革。
