Population Health Training that Works: Strengthening the interface between Research, Policy and Community

Abstract

From 2002 to 2008, the CPHR Training Program facilitated an interdisciplinary approach to population health research, successfully training twenty-seven different researchers and scholars from thirteen different disciplines.  Nationally and internationally renowned guest lecturers exposed trainees to new ways of framing research questions, applying research methodologies and disseminating research knowledge to influence public policies.  The trainees received mentorship over thirty-six faculty members from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina.  The numerous achievements of these students serve to show the high quality of training they have received.
