3rd Annual CIP Networking Event: Focusing on Resilience and Wellness

On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the Clinician Investigator Program hosted its 3rd Annual Networking Event, bringing together trainees and invited speakers for an inspiring evening of connection and conversation.

This year’s theme, “The Resilient MD: Wellness, Balance, and Mental Health in Medicine,” emphasized the importance of resilience and well-being throughout the medical research journey. The event provided a space for candid dialogue, shared experiences, and meaningful networking among the CIP community.

Building on the success of past symposia—including Beyond the Lab: Clinician-Investigator’s Impact on Policy, Industry, Administration and the Early Career Researcher Panel: Career Paths After CIP & Building Community Through Networking—this year’s gathering was both engaging and restorative.

Thank you to all who participated and contributed to making this event a success!
