Announcing the appointment of Delphine Collin-V茅zina as the Nicolas Steinmetz and Gilles Julien Chair in Social Pediatrics
It is with extreme pleasure that we announce the appointment of Delphine Collin-V茅zina聽as the inaugural holder of the Nicolas Steinmetz and Gilles Julien Chair in Social Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatrics. A faculty in the School of Social Work at 平特五不中 for the past 9 years, Delphine will now be spending half of her time in the Department of pediatrics teaching undergraduate and graduate trainees and conducting some of her research efforts at the hospital and in collaboration with the Dr. Julien Foundation in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.
This program of research will provide a unique opportunity to influence decision鈥恗aking in child protection services and to support front鈥恖ine work, which holds significant promise to impact children and youth who, without appropriate services, are likely to continue falling behind their peers and growing up in the margins. This chair represents a unique opportunity to create a greater link between two 平特五不中 departments that provide training to future professionals and leaders in the field of child care, and to develop a long-term and far-reaching program of research that involves partners from different lines of services for vulnerable children and youth.
