The Chair sets up Caféchanges!
The team set up meetings with people with chronic illnesses in order to gain experience when using health services. Through these quarterly meetings, the team knows what is happening in the field from the perspective of the patients. Research hypotheses are then identified. We also validate certain results with the group.

$ 5.25 million for patient-oriented research!
The Canadian Institute for Health Research has announced a $ 5.25M investment to support the creation of a national training entity that will enhance training and capacity development in patient-oriented research, a project on which Marie-Eve Poitras is co-principal researcher and co-responsible for the training component.

The team is led by Prof. Marie-Eve Poitras, registered nurse by training and researcher in the department of Family and Emergency medicine at the University of Sherbrooke. We are located on the delocalized campus of the University of Sherbrooke in Saguenay. Research programming is supported by a framework that structures primary care, approaches it creatively through interprofessional, patient / knowledge user-centered research and effective knowledge transfer.
Our logo
The whole logo suggests a lotus, for which the Victorian meaning is eloquence. The eloquence which by definition refers to "The art of expressing oneself well" and "The character of what is expressive, significant, convincing".
The lotus is a delicate flower with many petals arranged in layers (representing health professionals, researchers, decision makers, etc.) around a central core: the patient.
The color: We wanted to stand out and choose an original color that is not used by other teams similar to ours or by well-known healthcare organizations.
It was designed by @Roche, papier, latté !
