I’m a foreign trained medical doctor who came to Canada to have a better life. Like many IMGs I wish to pursue my career as a clinician here in Canada but this is a hard and long journey; still there are always ways to utilize your medical knowledge and skills other than in clinical practice.

Clinical research is a fast paced world full of scientific events, an exciting atmosphere where you learn how to handle research projects in an active networking with academic people. You will find yourself actively learning and producing knowledge rather than just using it. This program updated me with different aspects of clinical research specifically in North America and the 13 weeks placement put me in a workplace full of opportunity to use this knowledge and to participate directly in research projects.

My thanks to Dr. Nicholas who’s been always more than a teacher for students in this program.
