Nicolas Fernandez, PhD
Assistant Professor at the Faculté de médecine de l’Université de Montréal
Nicolas Fernandez is Professor at the Center for Applied Pedagogy in the Health Sciences of the Faculty of Medicine at the Université de Montréal. Recipient of a transplanted kidney in 2008, Nicolas learned to manage his dialysis treatments, both peritoneal and hemodialysis, over a period of eight years. This life transforming experience, combined with his academic career in educational research and teaching, allowed Nicolas to develop unique insights into self-management of chronic illness as well as into development of patient partnership competencies. His doctoral thesis was completed in large part during treatment sessions in the dialysis unit of his local hospital. Nicolas contributes regularly to initiatives aimed at integrating patient perspective into training of health professionals, health research and organizational change in clinical settings.
