"Shaping Academia for the Public Good: Critical Reflections on the CHSRF/CIHR Chair Program", edited by Louise Potvin and Pat Armstrong, describes lessons learned from a program that CHSRF (now CFHI) and CIHR funded with other sponsors including NSHRF. Health services and nursing research Chairs trained researchers to conduct innovative research, to develop partnerships with government, community and health care delivery organizations and to mobilize scientific knowledge to inform health care practice, programs and policies. Dr. Ingrid Sketris (College of Pharmacy and IMPART) has a chapter in the book titled "Service Learning within a Multi-Stakeholder Program." The book serves as a resource for educators, applied health researchers and policy makers who are bridging the gap between academia and health care organizations.
Details of the launch are as follows:
- Wednesday, February 26, 2014
- 4:00 - 5:00 pm
- Dalhousie University Club, 6259 Alumni Crescent (located just off South Street)
- RSVP - kate.obrien@dal.ca
Refreshments will be served, and there will be a draw for a free book. For further information, contact Ingrid Sketris on 494-3755 or ingrid.sketris@dal.ca.
