Physicians typically do not just wear one hat. Many of us tries to wear many hats at the same time (to our detriment). Don't worry, I do this too. Some of us also wear the hat of a researcher (either big "R" or small "r").   However, most of us do not know we can be compensated by the government for the research we do. There is much money left on the table.   Here is an episode that deals with the SR&ED program.   Everyone should know about SR&ED. You may be entitled to receive this money back from the government.   If you have any comment or feedback, please email me at hmfhd2020@gmail.com.
