Abstract

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.
