CANADA’S NEWEST CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCH PROFESSORSHIP McGill University, one of Canada’s leading universities, has awarded the “Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation Professorship in Rehabilitation Epidemiology” to Dr. André Bussières,DC. This Research Professorship is funded with an initial investment of $500,000 from the CCA/CFCREAB Clinical Practice Guidelines Project. The Project is a joint venture between the Canadian Chiropractic Association and the Canadian Federation of Chiropractic Regulatory and Educational Accrediting Boards. This investment represents the ongoing commitment of Canada’s chiropractic regulatory boards and associations to improving the health of Canadians by enhancing their process of guideline development with a university-based research position focused on the most current, scientifically sound approaches to Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) development. Dr. Bussières will complete his PhD training in Population Health, shortly, at the University of Ottawa, under the supervision of Dr. Jeremy Grimshaw, Co-Chair of the Cochrane Collaboration and Director of Cochrane Canada. His PhD research thesis focuses on Knowledge Transfer and Exchange (KTE) of clinical practice guidelines and the overall goal of his thesis project is to establish a scientific rationale for interventions to translate research findings into clinical practice. Dr. Bussières serves as a member of the JCCA Editorial Board and has written over 20 scientific and clinical articles and three book chapters. In addition, he was the principal investigator of three diagnostic imaging practice guidelines for musculoskeletal complaints in adults. Dr. Bussières was the recipient of the 2009 CCA Young Investigator Award, and has won a prestigious CIHR Fellowship Award in the Area of Primary Care as well as the distinguished KT Canada Fellowship Award. He is also a full professor at UQTR. McGill University is one of Canada’s best-known institutions of higher learning and one of the leading research-intensive universities. The University partners with eight affiliated teaching hospitals to graduate over 1,000 health care professionals each year. Currently, 163 Canada Research Chairs are allotted to McGill faculty. Canada’s largest hospital-based research facility is located at the McGill University Health Centre, with more than 500 researchers and clinicians, nearly 1,000 graduate and postdoctoral students, and close to $100 million research funding. The new McGill CCRF Research Professorship in Rehabilitation Epidemiology will have its home in the Faculty of Medicine. The CCA/CFCREAB Clinical Practice Guidelines Project has published five evidence-based chiropractic guidelines since 2004, the most recent being the Headache Guideline published in JMPT in June 2011. Practice Guides accompany each guideline for use by clinicians to translate the research into improved care for the Canadian public. The CCA/CFCREAB Clinical Practice Guidelines Project is grateful to the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation and its Executive Vice President, Dr. Allan Gotlib, for negotiating this Research Professorship. This is a historic partnership between the CCRF and McGill University and builds on CCRF’s research capacity program which establishes Research Chairs and Professorships in universities across Canada. Congratulations to Dr. Bussières!
