About the PERC TUTOR-PHC Patient Engagement in Primary Health Care Training Fellowships
PERC provides support (funding & structure) for TUTOR-PHC (Transdisciplinary Understanding and Training on Research in Primary Health Care) trainees, who wish to integrate patient perspectives, experience and/or expertise in their research focused on primary health care. This opportunity builds on and extends the TUTOR-PHC training program with opportunities to strengthen trainees’ patient-oriented research capacity.
Aims:
- To build capacity in patient-oriented primary health care research provincially and nationally
- To provide opportunities for PERC Advisory Board members to share their expertise and lived experiences with the next generation of PHC researchers
- To provide support to SPOR-aligned research initiatives
- To provide an embedded learning experience in patient engagement by attending quarterly PERC Advisory Board meetings and contributing to PERC deliverables
