Training

"Humanistically-Informed Scientists and
Scientifically-Informed Humanists"

HCTP is preparing a new generation of scholars to grapple with the interconnectedness of technologies, people, places, and work in contemporary health care.

HCTP is premised on a reciprocity between interdisciplinary teaching and research. Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Fellows learn skills of interdisciplinary collaboration from examples set by our Faculty Mentors, who work together across disciplines to teach and solve shared research problems.

At the same time, collaborative relationships among Mentors are deepened through interdisciplinary co-supervision and team-teaching.

HCTP training opportunities include:

• Interdisciplinary Mentorship
• Team-Taught Graduate Research Courses
• Integrative Monthly Seminars
• Professional Development Retreats
• Annual Collaborative Research Workshops
• Generous Fellowships
• Knowledge Translation and Exchange

HCTP was launched as a CIHR Strategic Training Initiative in 2002. Funding for HCTP was renewed in 2009 by the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research at CIHR.
