Career Development & Mentorship

The CCCTG Career Development & Mentorship subcommittee consists of CCCTG members and other clinician educators from across Canada who are responsible for coordinating the content of the annual Research Career Development Day. 

Research Career Development Day

The CCCTG hosts an annual Research Career Development Day to promote research education for all critical care trainees across Canada. The day consists of talks geared to trainees from CCCTG members on research-related topics such as:

  • Career planning
  • How to write a grant and manuscript
  • The role of the Research Ethics Board

In addition, trainees have the opportunity to present their research projects for feedback from the CCCTG membership on issues such as methodology, statistics, and patient recruitment.
