The Clinician Investigator Program (CIP) at Schulich Medicine & Dentistry is a Royal College program for residents that provides a research-rich training environment. The Program is intended for residents who have not yet completed their residency and provides the opportunity to complete a graduate degree accompanied with specialized research training. The intent is that residents will complete their core years and then enter the CIP.

During the program, which is normally two years, residents will pursue research through their graduate program and as well, will participate in a research seminar series focused on the development of clinical investigators.
