Research Week 2011

As one of our six strategic imperatives, the goal of research and academic development is to improve health outcomes and health services sustainability through teaching, education and research. A key objective is to foster a ‘culture of curiosity’ through evidence-informed decisions and translation of knowledge into action. Research Week is one such opportunity designed to stimulate interest in the conduct and use of research in Fraser Health.

Be Inspired. Do Research. Improve Health.

• An update on the development of a provincial health research plan from our keynote speaker, Martin Taylor, PhD, Board Chair for the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research
• Highlights from Fraser Health and affiliated academic researchers
