Our mission in clinical research is to improve the health of people living in our communities. We are therefore actively developing this sector, which is of vital importance to our institution and our society. A number of services have been set up to facilitate clinical and evaluative research at CHU de Québec-Université Laval.
The Clinical and Evaluative Research Platform (PRCE, for Plateforme de recherche clinique et évaluative) was created in the fall of 2008, following the clinical research retreat held earlier that year. It was already part of what was then known as the CHUQ Research Centre.
The PRCE’s mission is to support clinical research at the CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research Centre, to promote the well-being of staff involved in clinical research, and to optimize the centre’s clinical research potential.
Since 2008, the team has doubled in size and is increasingly offering services and support to clinical research investigators, which is tangible proof that the establishment of this team is a real benefit.
We welcome anyone interested in finding out more to contact us, whether they are researchers, clinicians, nurses or other healthcare professionals, residents, students, patients, etc.
