The Research Committee continues to work to promote research in
geriatric psychiatry in Canada. Please contact andrea.iaboni@uhn.ca if you would like to learn more or to be included in our budding
research network.
We are testing the
ResearchGate platform as a way of creating a network of geriatric psychiatry
research in Canada. Please visit the ResearchGate project page:
www.researchgate.net/project/Canadian-Academy-of-Geriatric-Psychiatry-Research-Network
If you have a
ResearchGate profile, you can follow this project and receive updates about
research initiatives out of the CAGP, including updates on your research and
requests for collaboration, as well as be able to post and comment.
