Applied Respiratory Pathophysiology

Dr Louis-Philippe Boulet MD, FRCPC, FCCP is Chairholder of the Knowledge Transfer, Training and Prevention and Chair on Respiratory and Cardiovascular Health (Lung and Heart Health). The objective of this chair is to reduce the human and socio-economic burdens that constitute these diseases by assessing new knowledge transfer methods in this field for the benefit of health professionals, patients as well as other stakeholders. With the support of Dr Paul Poirier and Dr Sébastien Bergeron in terms of cardiovascular disease, along with numerous local, national and international partnerships, Dr Boulet established a research program based on the development of educational materials, medical practice and pedagogical intervention facilitative tools as well as a research and communication program on the risk factors of cardiopulmonary diseases.
