18 September 2025
Congratulations to Andréa Dépelteau on successfully defending her doctoral thesis in health sciences research at the Université de Sherbrooke, under the supervision of Professors Catherine Hudon and Émilie Lagueux. Her doctoral project focused on occupational therapy within family medicine groups and in the context of chronic pain. Andréa was part of our team for many years, and her warm and dedicated presence in our offices will certainly be missed.
