Our approach
The goal of the Training and Career Development Committee (TCDC) is to promote and implement quality trainee and early investigator initiatives within the CCN mandate. The TCDC will support dissemination of information about the activities of the CCN-RCC that are of interest to trainees and early investigator members in a timely and effective manner.
Our activities
In collaboration with the other three CCN-RCC committees (i.e., training and career development, patient and stakeholder engagement, technology transfer and commercialization, integrated knowledge translation and mobilization, research methods and platforms), the TCDC will be responsible for supporting the following activities:
Annual meeting activities and engagement events including:
- Local and National Presentations
- Annual Meetings and Abstract Reviews
- Social Events
Leadership in advancing member success and early career development
- Peer to Peer Mentorship and Reviews
- Planning and implementation of monthly web-based seminars/panel discussions/journal club
- Supporting collaboration for trainees and early career investigators across the network (e.g., trainee exchanges, networking opportunities)
Our members
