CiMED Research Grants Spring 2025

We are pleased to announce the results of the CiMED Medical Education Grants (Spring Small Grants 2025). The process for selection was rigorous. Each proposal was reviewed by three reviewers and by two members of the CiMED Medical Education Research Grants committee. The Grants Committee was chaired by Dr. Timothy Wood (PhD) and consisted of seven members (clinician-educators and PhDs from University of Ottawa as well as external experts).

Congratulations to all the winners!
