Biographie

Paula Forgeron est professeure titulaire à l'École des sciences infirmières de la Faculté des sciences de la santé de l'Université d'Ottawa. Avant de se joindre à la faculté, elle avait une carrière clinique diversifiée avec une expérience directe en soins pédiatriques et adultes en soins d'urgence, en soins intensifs néonatals, ainsi qu'un poste d'infirmière clinicienne spécialisée au sein d'une équipe pédiatrique de douleur complexe. Sa recherche financée se concentre sur le fonctionnement social des adolescents atteints de maladies chroniques ainsi que sur les meilleures pratiques pour préparer les professionnels de la santé à s'engager dans la pratique interprofessionnelle. En collaboration avec ses collègues, elle a mené des recherches dans le domaine de l'application des connaissances, en particulier pour améliorer les soins de la douleur chez les enfants et les jeunes dans les pays en développement et les pays occidentaux.
