Patient-Oriented Research
What is patient-oriented research (POR)?
YSPOR applies a broad understanding of the term “patient”, including not only individual people with lived experience (PWLE) of the health system and their families or caregivers, but also communities, with an emphasis on Indigenous communities, and Yukon First Nations. Our goal is to help improve health outcomes for all Yukon people by learning from those who have lived experience. We hope to amplify the voices of people and communities by engaging them as partners in research.
We also have a variety of resources available in our resource library on POR if you’d like to learn more!
