Engagement Opportunities
Do you have an opportunity to engage people with lived and living experience from the Maritimes in your health research?
Patient Engagement is patient-oriented research. It happens when a person with lived and living experience partners with staff and research teams to improve health care by meaningfully engaging in research governance, priority setting, developing research questions, or performing certain parts of the research.
Patient Participation is when the patient and/or public is enrolled in a study as a subject. For example, research study participants could be asked to complete a survey or take part in focus groups.
The MSSU supports recruitment of participants for research projects that have already engaged people with lived and living experience as members of the research team.
The information submitted may be edited for plain language and space, and may be shared on other MSSU communication channels. If you have questions, please contact our Patient Engagement Coordinator at PatientEngagement@mssu.ca
