Training in addictions research

As part of the No One Left Behind campaign, we are proud to highlight some of the ways CAMH is providing leadership in addictions by delivering evidence-based treatments, and inspiring hope through innovative research.

What is research training at CAMH?

Within the Koerner Centre for Research Training, CAMH prepares the next generation of researchers in mental health and substance use health. There are 500-700 registered research trainees in any given year across undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels. A team of experts registers and onboards trainees, delivers mandatory training, cultivates a community of learning, and equips trainees with the knowledge and skills required to be global leaders in mental health and addictions research.

What is unique about CAMH’s approach to addictions research training?

CAMH is unique in the breadth of its scientific exploration, conducting population and community health, clinical and neuroscience research all at the same institution. This diversity in research and focus on team science gives trainees the opportunity to collaborate across disciplines to build key skills in multidisciplinary research, to advance discovery and improve treatment for substance use and addictive disorders.
