Congratulations to our colleague Pamela Tanguay, a PhD student in health sciences at the CFMNB, for winning an award in the “clinical research” category of the patient partner involvement competition. The award is presented by the Axe/Thème and the Centre d’excellence de l’université de Sherbrooke (CEUS) en diabète, obésité et complications cardiovasculaires (DOCC). Pamela’s research project focuses on evaluating the effects of a new cardiac rehabilitation program on physical activity, quality of life, anxiety and depression. Patient-partners are involved in her research to give their perspective on their experience of cardiac rehabilitation. They are involved from research design to dissemination of results. Bravo Pamela!
