Application For The WDP Program Now Available
December 4/2013
The Work Disability Prevention (WDP) CIHR Strategic Training Program, directed by Professor Patrick Loisel MD, is a part-time three year program intended for PhD students, Post-Docs, and Young Researchers and includes four main educational activities: online courses, intensive in-class summer sessions focused on one of the following themes: methodological, sociopolitical, or ethical challenges, synthesis course, and optional courses. The educational activities include problem solving, learning to address the session theme, case studies, seminars, lectures, workplace visits, knowledge mobilization activities and practicums. There are over 20 Mentors (faculty) from around the world participating as supervisors in trainee activities and often as collaborators in research activities outside of the program requirements. We are located here in DLSPH and are truly an interdisciplinary and international program with trainees coming from over 15 countries to participate in the annual summer session. Currently we have over 30 trainees and are accepting applications for our 2014 cohort. Please see the attached flyer for more information or go to our website www.training.wdpcommunity.org or contact Sandra.knol@utoronto.ca. APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MONDAY DECEMBER 16, 2013!
