Patient-Oriented Research Practicum

May 13 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Join us for a free, 2.5-hour virtual training workshop that builds on the CIHR-IMHA’s e-learning: A How-to-Guide to Patient Engagement in Research. This hands-on session helps participants apply core concepts from the e-learning modules to real-world contexts, with a focus on the Maritimes.

Co-led by a Patient/Public Partner, each session includes practical tips, examples, and opportunities for discussion. You’ll learn how to plan for meaningful engagement and address common challenges.

📅 Registration closes one week before the session date to ensure you receive the meeting link and pre-reading materials in time.
