Clinical and investigative medicine. Médecine clinique et experimentale

Message from the President: Demystifying and promoting the MD-PhD/MD+ world Since its inception in 2006, the Clinician-Investigator Trainee Association of Canada (CITAC) has investigated, supported and promoted the needs of Canadian trainees on track to building a career in research and medicine. Membership in CITAC signals interest in such a career as a physician/clinician/surgeon-scientist. ⋯ Trainees assume and trust that the training they receive, and the opportunities they seize, can lead them to the dual career. Yet, when considering practical questions about this career outcome, such as what is the success rate in landing a faculty position with that job description, we realize that much is unknown.
