There are many ways to for clinicians to be involved in research, and we hope to highlight these along the way. Brooke also highlights a new exciting initiative – The Training and Career Development Network developed by the IOC Research Centres. https://ucalgary.ca/sport-injury-prevention-research-centre/ioc-research-centres-training-and-career-development-network
