Training

The LDI offers an ever-growing curriculum of skills and career development programming that will help its trainees succeed as researchers and excel in whatever career they choose.

All trainees at the LDI receive training on research ethics, on biosafety and good laboratory practices, and the use of the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). Depending on the nature of their research and their laboratory, trainees might also be trained on the safe use of compressed gas cylinders, the transportation of dangerous goods, the safe use of cryogenic liquids and radiation safety.

Trainees at the LDI benefit from many training opportunities organized by McGill University and its various instances, the West-Central Montreal CIUSSS, the Jewish General Hospital and the LDI, in the following areas:

• Career Support and Professional Development
• Core Facilities
• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)
• Grants
• Health and Safety
• McGill Library
• Research Ethics
• Software

The LDI also offers opportunities to get involved in its vibrant community through the LDI Trainee Committee, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee and EDI initiatives, the LDI Trainee Seminars, the Annual Scientific Retreat, and others.
