GUIDING PRINCIPLES

NATIONAL REPRESENTATION
ACKNOWLEDGE AND EMBRACE INDIGENOUS WAYS OF KNOWING/DOING. PROMOTING HEALTH & WELLNESS
REPRESENTATION ACROSS ALL THEMES OF RESEARCH
EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
YOUTH, PARENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
INTERDISCIPLINARITY
TRAINEE REPRESENTATION
Network Reach
Partnered with 17 pediatric academic centres in Canada, a mentor is ready to help where ever you are.
Committees
The CCHCSP organizational structure provides our trainees with a formal and informal group of mentors who help develop core scientific skills, but more importantly, provide guidance in defining each trainee’s trajectory while maintaining a healthy work life balance. It’s our committees, centre leaders and the peer on peer mentoring among our trainees. It is access to the top clinician scientist in Canada across all disciplines within our program. This impact that we have left on each of our trainees, motivates them to give back and volunteer their time to our program on our committees and as informal mentors.
