Title
TRHP’s Research Development Program: Better Understanding Linguistic Dynamics in the Health Care Delivery Process
Abstract
A brief summary of two studies undertaken by the research development program of McGill's Training and Retention of Health Professionals (TRHP) project. One study is titled "Language Barriers in Critical Settings", led by Dr. Eric Jarvis from the Department of Psychiatry at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital. This study explores the ways in which language barriers compromise the equity and quality of mental health care in critical settings. The second study is titled "English Language Demands of the University Programs in Quebec and their Relationship to Nurses’ Preparedness for the 'Practice of the Profession'", led by Shahrzad Saif from the Département de langues, linguistique et traduction at the Université Laval. The study set out to investigate whether nursing programs in Francophone universities in Quebec properly prepare nurses to communicate in English in healthcare contexts.
