Presenter: Dr. Codie Primeau
Dr. Codie Primeau (he/him) is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at Arthritis Research Canada and the University of British Columbia (Canada) working with Dr. Linda Li. He completed a combined Master's program in Physical Therapy and PhD at Western University (Canada). His research scope includes arthritis, physiotherapy, orthopedics, clinical biomechanics, health economics and 2S/LGBTQQIA+ health. His graduate work primarily focused on clinical trials and observational studies, evaluating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of exercise and surgical interventions in arthritis. He also led projects promoting 2S/LGBTQQIA+ health education and inclusion among physiotherapists and physiotherapy students across Canada.
In his current postdoctoral work, he is using an innovative methodology grounded in the principles of citizen science to maximize 2S/LGBTQQIA+ community engagement in the process of co-developing and co-prioritizing research questions related to pain. His work also focuses on the adoption of national guidelines for physical activity and sleep among rehabilitation professionals in the management of arthritis.
