We are conducting a study to evaluate the medical rehabilitation, and educational needs of patients after a stroke and are focusing on the Chinese and Portuguese ethnic populations within our region (compared to a reference group of Canadian-born, English-speaking stroke patients) to better understand how we can better assist them following a stroke. The Research Analysts will be directly involved in recruiting patients and performing the questionnaire survey with them. They will also be involved in data management and interaction with the research team. The Analyst will travel two days per week to our partner sites, St. Joseph’s and William Osler Health Centres. This research will help to improve the care of stroke patients and will be a rewarding opportunity for someone participating as a research assistant.
