Introduction
Have you or are you currently completing a family medicine residency in Canada or the United States?
Are you interested in contributing to the discipline of family medicine beyond everyday clinical practice?
Are you wondering what to do for enhanced skills training and have an interest in research?
If you answered yes to these questions, the Clinician Scholar Program, Academic track (CSP-A) offers a third year of residency training to provide the skills for a career in Academic Family Medicine.
If you aspire to a clinician scientist career in which at least 50% of your time is dedicated to research, then we also offer the Clinician Scholar Program, Research track (CSP-R). The CSP-R is a two-year program (third and fourth year of residency) designed to provide you with a more advanced set of skills.
Offered by the Department of Family Medicine, these unique programs provide solid training in research methods.
In addition, these tracks offer an opportunity to complete a Master of Science degree to make you a highly competitive candidate, while maintaining your clinical skills.

Specific Objectives
The CSP-A provides a third year residency training salary for those interested in an academic career in Family Medicine.
Residents in the CSP complete the courses required for the MSc in Family Medicine. Residents are encouraged to apply for the Master of Science Program while simultaneously applying to the CSP-A and CSP-R. In this way, they will obtain the MSc upon completing their thesis. During the CSP-A and the CSP-R, residents continue to work in a family medicine setting two half-days per week. This might be a continuation of their clinical practice from their first two years of family medicine residency, or it might be in a different context in a specific area of interest.
The CSP-R differs from the CSP-A as it is of two years duration to develop the additional, essential skills to succeed in research. These skills include grantsmanship, study conduct, ethics, good clinical practice guidelines, research data collection, budget management, knowledge translation, article reviews, publication skills and more.
