Five years ago, my big adventure began. Thanks to a bursary from the Foundation, I received a clinical fellowship from the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College at the University of London, in Great Britain. The goal of the two years I spent in London was to broaden my knowledge in the fields of psychiatric rehabilitation and the organisation of ambulatory services in a world-class educational and research environment.
My experience in Great Britain was incredibly rich and made it possible for me to hold, since my return to the Institute, the positions of medical coordinator in the psychotic disorder program and now as co‑medical manager of customized and specialized services for the Mental Health and Addiction Program at the CIUSSS in the east end of Montreal Island.
The Foundation has made a major contribution to the completion of the project in the interests of the patients of our institution.
