Welcome to François Racine-Hemmings
23 January 2026
We are pleased to welcome François Racine-Hemmings, a doctoral candidate in Health Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Catherine Hudon.
A family physician, he graduated from the Université de Montréal in 2015 and holds a research-based master’s degree in Health Sciences from the Université de Sherbrooke (2019). He has been practicing at the Charles-LeMoyne Family Medicine Group since 2018, where he also contributes to training the next generation of physicians by providing clinical supervision.
This winter, François is beginning a doctoral research project focusing on interprofessional collaboration between family physicians and primary care nurse practitioners.
We are excited to welcome him to our team and look forward to following the progress of his work.
