Nirvanesthesia Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm curious about how feasible it is to become a researcher as a family physician - would it be more difficult than if one was a specialist? As well, are you limited to researching topics within the scope of family medicine or could you go beyond that (or would people/funding bodies/journals not take you as seriously)? For example, I'd love to do research about healthcare data and AI, but that doesn't seem particularly relevant to the field of family medicine in comparison to other specialties.

bearded frog Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 You can definitely do research as a GP. See https://fammedmcmaster.ca/research/ or https://research.familymed.ubc.ca/ for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD_scientist Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Also if you are currently doing your residency in FM, you may want to check the R3 clinician scholar programs offered in many universities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
