Celebrating the Achievements of our Clinician-Investigators

The inaugural Junior Merit Award Dinner was held at Massey College on November 30th 2015 to celebrate the achievements of six clinician-investigators, practising across the full spectrum of our Department. Each year, two new junior faculty, or recently-appointed faculty, are given joint salary support awards, for a 3-year duration, supported jointly by the University Department and the faculty member's Hospital practice plan. A call for applications for two new awards, to commence July 1st 2016, will be made in January 2016.
