The BRIC NS Student Seminar Series is an opportunity for students across Nova Scotia to share their completed or in-progress research. Presentations cover a wide variety of disciplines, but all address the common thread of primary and integrated healthcare.

Title: Family Physicians with a Geriatric Focus: Describing their Medical Practice Patterns and Impacts

Presenter: Rebecca recently completed her PhD and began a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Dalhousie University in the Department of Family Medicine. She is a health services researcher with interests in primary care, aging, health human resources, and medical education. She trained at McMaster University (PhD, Health Research Methodology, 2024) and the University of Waterloo (BSc, Honours Health Studies, 2019). Her dissertation included a modified Delphi study and two population-based observational studies to investigate the impacts of added competency training and focused medical practice among family physicians on caring for older adults. During her postdoc, Rebecca will lead mixed-methods, multi-provincial studies to understand the impacts of population aging on primary care needs and capacity.
