• Promoting the integration of research into the routine care, mainly in the care of the critically ill, and the development of an inter-professional collaborative culture;
• Ensuring the use of best practices by disseminating convincing and conclusive data related to hospital based care;
• Training a highly skilled succession in clinical research focused on the patient;
• Creating a center of expertise in clinical research center focused on the patient in Sherbrooke.

This research chair aligns with the CCCTG's focus on quality of care.
