EXTRA Fellows
2007 EXTRA Competition Results
The EXTRA advisory council, chaired by the former Quebec minister of health and social services Dr. Jean Rochon, met on April 26 and 27, 2007 to evaluate the applications received for the competition. Twenty-four fellowships were awarded.
The attached table provides a summary of the applications received and those that are recommended for funding. The summary is broken down by the following categories: organization; discipline/stream (nurse, physician, and other health services executives); and province.
The 2007 fellows are listed in alphabetical order, and the list includes the title of their intervention projects. These projects provide an opportunity for fellows to actively apply what they have learned in the EXTRA program in response to a specific issue in their home organization.
