The Merit Review Process for 2018 has been completed. The purpose of the program is to provide evidence based recommendations to the Chair of the Department pertinent to continuing salary support for clinician-scientists. Calls for the 2019 Merit Review will go out to all clinician-scientists in December 2018.
A total of 12 faculty DoM members from across the various divisions and hospitals have been approved for salary support. The total number of applications received was 20, and some applicants were disqualified due to the receipt of career awards. All the applications were deemed meritorious, but salary support was limited due to available resources.
Many thanks to the review committee, which was chaired by Dr. Kevin Kain. The 2018 review committee consisted of:
Daniel Drucker
Susan George
Margaret Herridge
Andreas Laupacis
Phil Marsden
Katherine Siminovitch
