Researchers Explain Projects to Executive

Dr. Emily Marshall & CEO Janet Knox

About a dozen NSHA Researchers brought posters, iPads and virtual reality tools to NSHA's Lovett Lake corporate office on December 5th. The Executive Leadership team and the Board of Directors toured a make-shift village of project posters on display. 

It was an excellent opportunity for NSHA Researchers to explain their projects and take questions from the top leadership of NSHA.  

The Researchers in attendance spoke with members of the Executive and Board. Dr. Emily Marshall (Primary Health Care) spoke with CEO Janet Knox about the MAPP project and Dr. David Clarke (Neuroscience) spoke with VP of People & Organizational Development Carmelle d'Entremont before she tried the PeriopSim virtual reality tool. Neuroscience, Primary Health Care, Medical Physics, Geriatrics, Aging, Mental Health, and Cancer were some of the other areas represented.

The event was organized by Interim Vice President Research, Innovation and Knowledge Translation Dr. Thomas Marrie to help educate and promote research at the highest level. Packages detailing research activities were handed out and a presentation was given by Dr. Marrie to the Board as part of their meeting.
