We wish to announce the following change in our Strategic Group 1.
Dr Christine Maheu (McGill University) will replace Dr Virginia Lee (McGill University) as Co-leader of Strategic Group 1: Chronic Disease Management and End of Life Care with Dr José Côté (Université de Montréal).
Dr Christine Maheu is an Associate Professor at McGill University’s Ingram School of Nursing and is affiliated with the McGill University Health Center and Segal Cancer Center at the Jewish General Hospital. Her research interests focus on clinical trials of interventions in the cancer survivor field, specifically psychosocial and behavioral aspects. Some of these interventions focus on adapting to a cancer diagnosis, fear of cancer recurrence, living in uncertainty about cancer risk, psycho-oncological distress, and returning to work following a cancer diagnosis. She is co-director of the Cancer and Work website and works closely with a multidisciplinary team on this project.
We sincerely thank Dr Virginia Lee for her commitment to the strategic group over the past several years.
