Selecting potential clinician scientists for the future of child health research in Canada is an extremely important task in which members of the Selection Committee play a crucial role. The purpose of the Selection Committee is to enhance and execute the recruitment, retention, and support of outstanding individuals who will advance Canadian child health across our entry disciplines. The Committee will carry out the CCHCSP applicant selection and adjudication process as described in the adjudication section.  They will also participate in the evaluation of current trainees during the National symposium annually, meeting with both trainee and mentors separately.  New Selection Committee members are nominated by committee members, and approved by the CCHCSP Executive to serve a 5-year term. The committee has representation from all four pillars of health research and includes at least one representative from medicine/surgery, psychology, nursing, rehabilitative sciences, and other disciplines to represent the cross section of CCHCSP trainees. Geographic representation is encouraged, with also a minimum two former trainees of the program.
