The Research and Graduate Programs Division of the Department of Family Medicine is proud to present its official summer session for May and June. We offer training for patient-oriented, community-based research with innovative methodologies. The expertise of our teaching faculty crosses conventional discipline boundaries and research traditions.

The courses in this session incorporate an interdisciplinary perspective with rigorous training in qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods and participatory research approaches with topics ranging from communication to complex health care systems. Registered graduate students, health professionals and others are welcome to register for these courses for either professional interest or credit.

All courses are 1-credit (15 in-class hours) offered in the class spaces of the Department of Family Medicine at 5858 Cote-des-Neiges, Suite 300, in Montreal, Quebec.
