Please note - this is meant to serve the broad development of the institution in this area, not just the researcher’s specific area of interest.

To that end, the Accelerate Chair is expected to bridge to the clinical teams, community needs, current research needs and trends to develop a platform and pathway for IWK Health to develop in this area.

I. Career Stage and Development
