6. Introduction to Publication Science: A Workshop on Scientific Writing, Publishing and Peer Review
March 28 & 29, 2017

9:00am - 5:00pm
OR
March 31 & April 1, 2017
The Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus, Kaminski Room
9:00am - 5:00pm
Many physicians interested in research will go on to become authors, peer reviewers, and scientific editors of research journals. However, the literature indicates that they are likely to be unprepared for any of these roles.
The Introduction to Publication Science course adopts a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to the publication process by introducing participants to the principles of publication science (i.e., Journalology).
Please download the flyer for more information. |

7. Post-Doctoral Fellowship Opportunity - Institute du savoir Montfort (ISM) and Hôpital Montfort
We are looking for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to conduct research on the health of the Francophone population in the minority context using routinely collected data. The successful applicant will be funded through the Institut du savoir Montfort (ISM) and Hôpital Montfort, and will be expected to use data housed at the Ottawa site of the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) and at the Hôpital Montfort.
This opportunity will allow the fellow to develop a program of research in the area of the health of the Francophone population in the minority context, with a focus that can be tailored to interest and opportunities for funding that arise. Topics may include: measuring health determinants and status, health care system performance measurement, health care access, quality and safety, health care costs and efficiency, care transitions, language barriers, and data quality of the linguistic variables.
For more information, please download the flyer in English or French. |
