The Pandemic Acid Test: What We've Learned About How to Improve BC's Health Research System

Pandemics will occur again and will require a coordinated, rapid response research capacity. Successes aside, BC researchers encountered major obstacles to rapid response research during the pandemic. We will examine these lessons and discuss the opportunity of functioning as a more integrated learning health research system in BC and Canada. There are clear implications for integrated public health service and research organizations like BCCDC. Presenter: Dr. David Patrick is an infectious diseases specialist and epidemiologist with a career interest in responding to emerging infectious diseases. Dr. Patrick is Director of Research and Medical Epidemiology Lead for Antimicrobial Resistance at the BC Centre for Disease Control, and Professor in the UBC School of Population and Public Health.
