The Fellowship offers extensive immersion with a longstanding group of Patient Advisors, where trainees can build and apply their patient-oriented research capacities over the years to come.

Involving patients and community members in all aspects of research is vital.

Involving patients and community members in all aspects of research is vital. PERC worked with POPLAR, the Primary care Ontario Practice based Learning and Research Network, on devising the inaugural structure for our Patient Advisory Committee (PAC) and consulted on training and compensation. This ensured that the Patient Voice was integrated into the conception and launch of the PAC. PERC’s materials were very helpful and are being used for PAC. This represents an excellent example of collaboration between different organizations, in the benefit of patients and the public.

I realized that my story, our lived stories, and our lived experiences when it comes to health challenges are very powerful.

I really want to be fully integrated into a team. I don’t like that token patient involvement. It’s not a tick-box. Its really listening and valuing and appreciating the patient voice.
