The Program is open to applicants with a solid academic disciplinary background in health care, science, social sciences, or humanities.  Trainees are selected based on outstanding academic profiles; commitment to a research career; and the strength, transdisciplinarity and relevance of their research proposals.

A summer school-only program is available for professionals such as nurses, occupational and speech therapists, social workers and educators.

A 1-year track program is available for PhDs, Post-doctoral fellows and MDs, registered at a Canadian university.
