Relative to the needs of Canadians with Parkinson’s, there is currently a shortage of leaders involved in Parkinson’s service and clinical research programs in Canada. PSC believes that this shortage of medical specialists, neurologists or neurosurgeons with experience both in the critical management of Parkinson’s and in its clinical research, has the potential to worsen in the next few years.

The clinical research fellowship program, therefore, is a strategic initiative to encourage promising young scientists possessing a doctoral qualification (MD) in medicine to enter the field of Parkinson's clinical research and to invest in research training that offers promise for future work in the area of Parkinson’s disease. Funds awarded under the Program are to be used to cover salary, benefits and expenses for clinical research fellowships in Parkinson's-related areas.
