Three members of the UBC Department of Medicine have been recognized with the 2020 VCHRI and BCSupport Unit Patient-Oriented Research Awards.
From study design to presenting research findings, patients can play a vital role throughout the research process. The Excellence in Patient-Oriented Research Awards support clinician-scientists to conduct patient-oriented research and involve patients as research partners. The award is a joint initiative of the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and the BC SUPPORT Unit and promotes the further development of research capacity in British Columbia.
