The Diabetes Action Canada (DAC) Training and Mentorship Program aims to strengthen Canada’s patient-oriented research capacity in diabetes and its complications. The goal of our group is to prepare the next generation of Canadian diabetes researchers for patient-oriented research methods that align with the four pillars of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
