Overview

In discussion with your potential advisor, you will pick one of four research pillars and build a customized and multi-disciplinary degree track. This will be your home pillar.Over the course of your Pediatrics and Child Health degree from University of Manitoba, you will be required to take courses in two of the three other pillars. This will broaden your understanding of different areas in medical research and provide unique perspectives you may not otherwise get.

Clinical research

This pillar prepares students for careers in clinical trials, and clinical epidemiology among others. It is also intended for those students who are clinicians seeking further training in pediatric clinical research.

Basic sciences

This pillar is intended for students involved in bench or wet lab research. Can involve, among other things, experimental work with animal models or cell lines.

Population health

In this pillar, students will learn about epidemiology, qualitative and mixed methods, and research that addresses non-clinical questions in preparation for employment as population-based researchers.

Practice and policy

This pillar is intended for those whose research addresses policy and advocacy, knowledge translation, quality improvement, or medical education and ethics.

Which pillar is right for you?

In order to select a research pillar, reach out to potential supervisors first. It is recommended that you begin to reach out no later than six months before the program’s start date. Once you have communicated with and selected a supervisor you can work with them to establish what projects are available and which pillar would best suit your needs as a student.
