The Canada Research Chair in Partnership with Patients and Communities, a research team located at the CHUM Research Centre, is dedicated to developing the science of partnership with patients and citizens. The Chair wishes to integrate into its team a student who will develop his or her research project in line with the Chair’s program described on the website: https://www.chairepartenariat.ca/?lang=en. The main questions pursued by this research program are:

1. How to design inclusive, equitable and diversified partnership interventions with patients and communities?
2. How to implement adaptable, sustainable and scalable partnership interventions with health and community organisations?
3. What are the impacts of caring with patients and communities on health and social outcomes?

The funded student will be integrated within the Chair team to build their research project in line with the Chair’s research program. The student will be supervised by Dr. Antoine Boivin, Chairholder (Department of Family Medicine, Université de Montréal), with the possibility of co-supervision with a researcher from another department or university.
