Research & Education
Research
At Misericordia, we take research very seriously. Research allows us to study ways to improve the quality of life of our patients and residents.
Research at Misericordia Health Centre focuses on aligning and integrating clinical education and research activities to enhance academic and clinical performance. MHC supports research activities and academic partnerships to promote innovation in our programs and services.
Before any projects begin, though, our research review committee approves research proposals. The committee addresses any ethical concerns and ensures the research projects are in accordance with Misericordia’s faith-based values prior to granting approval.
Education
As an evolving research and teaching centre, Misericordia is proud to be affiliated with various educational organizations, including the universities of Manitoba, Winnipeg and Brandon, as well as colleges and learning centres in Winnipeg.
Our specialist physicians, nurses and allied health-care professionals provide person-centred care and conduct research while giving future health-care professionals hands-on training.
Some of our professionals hold joint appointments with the universities.
