Patients partners
Marie-Dominique Poirier
Marie-Dominique has been a music teacher for over 25 years.

For her, development of experiential knowledge and self-management development are her primary research goals.
Karina Prévost
Karina has worked for nearly ten years in public relations and communications. Although she has navigated the health system all her life and has long been a partner in her care, since she received her bi-lung transplant in 2015, she has been actively involved as a patient partner.
