Research Services wants to help you learn everything you need to know about conducting research at Capital Health. To assist you, we have developed a series of sessions to provide you and your team with the information you need. We are happy to offer this series at a time and place convenient for your group. For example, one research team opted for 30 minute presentations at their weekly 8:00am staff meetings and chose to have all the sessions presented. If you wish to get started with your own specific program, contact Lisa Underwood at (902) 473-4069 or email   lisa.underwood@cdha.nshealth.ca
