Forum Abstract

The CIMIT Young Clinician Research Award provides an opportunity for clinical researchers early in their careers such as Fellows, Instructors, and Assistant Professors to innovate and advance promising healthcare solutions. One clinician from each of CIMIT's member hospitals is selected each year to receive this prestigious award. Through CIMIT's network of site miners, we are able to quickly identify rising stars among our clinical research community to provide a much needed catalyst for these young scientists developing breakthrough medical devices and technologies.
