Diabetes Virtual Care with Dorothy Nelson and Veronika Kiryanova (PaCER Series: EP 2)
In Episode 2 of the PaCER series, our guests Veronika Kiryanova and Dorothy Nelson talk about their PaCER internship study, "Understanding Virtual Healthcare Experiences of Adults Living with Diabetes and/or their Caregivers in Alberta during the COVID-19 Pandemic", a patient-led peer-to-peer study. Veronika and Dorothy, recent graduates of the Patient and Community Engagement Research (PaCER) program at the University of Calgary, share patient insights, concerns, and recommendations, from their PaCER internship study. The PaCER program works toward transforming the role of patients in health system research, practice, planning, and policy, striving to foster a more sustainable and impactful approach to person-centred care.
