CiMED received 26 grant submissions this year! 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 Vicki LeBlanc (PhD, DIME Chair) and consisted of six members; three external members representing the Medical Council of Canada and recently retired Professors from other universities, and physicians from the Department of Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Montfort Hospital.
