I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer.
Our next SHaRe club meeting will be on Monday July 6th.
At this next month’s SHaRe club session we will welcome a number of speakers who have successfully transitioned from their PhD, to a postdoc, and into faculty and research positions. Look forward to seeing you there!

C2E2 at Vancouver General Hospital
Room 700, 828 West 10th Avenue
For our next meeting on Monday March 9, we’ll discuss the concept of “patient burden” and this article by Carl May and colleagues, “Rethinking the patient: using Burden of Treatment Theory to understand the changing dynamics of illness.” From the article:
The aim of this paper is to rethink what it means to be a patient in the age of chronic multi-morbidity. We need to better understand the resources that patients draw upon as they respond to the demands of both burdens of illness and burdens of treatment, and the ways these resources interact with healthcare utilization.
This article makes me think of two related texts on the subject of the role of patients with chronic illness:
How does this new theory of patient burden build on existing works and theories that you’re familiar with?
Edit: We’re postponing the meeting to Monday, January 12 @ 4pm. Meeting room to be confirmed.
I hope everyone has a lovely holiday! On January 5th we’ll have our first SHaRe club meeting of the new year:
Monday, January 5th, 4:00-5:30pm C2E2 at Vancouver General Hospital Room 700, 828 West 10th AvenueOur meeting will be a Thesis Screening Panel dress rehearsal. Bring a 10 minute presentation outlining your research proposal. It can be work that you’re submitting to TSP or a granting agency. The aim is to share our work and gain feedback from peers. If you’re unable to attend in person, we would love to have you join by Skype.
Look forward to seeing everyone in January!
We had a jam-packed 90 minute discussion of theory at the last SHaRe meeting. I’m posting here the articles that fuelled our conversation. If I’ve forgotten any, please add them in the comments below!

Thank you to the six brave souls who endured a soggy commute to attend the second SHaRE club meeting. It was wonderful to learn about your backgrounds and current research. We brainstormed a number of topics for subsequent meetings. Our next gathering will be at the same time/place:
Monday, December 1st from 4:00-5:30pm C2E2 at Vancouver General Hospital Room 700, 828 West 10th AvenueFollowing the group’s suggestions, our December meeting will cover two questions:
For our January meeting we’ll have a mock thesis screening panel. If you have a research proposal or analysis plan that you’re currently drafting, you can take 10 minutes to present it to the group for feedback.
For our next session on Monday November 3rd, our meeting will consist of peer review of someone’s work in progress (seeking volunteers!) and discussion of the following editorial, “What Is Value in Health Care?” (N Engl J Med 2010). Here’s a snippet:
Value — neither an abstract ideal nor a code word for cost reduction — should define the framework for performance improvement in health care. Rigorous, disciplined measurement and improvement of value is the best way to drive system progress. Yet value in health care remains largely unmeasured and misunderstood.
I hope we can discuss Porter’s conceptualization of “value.” Do you agree with the commenters who argue that a payer-centred perspective of value ignores patient-centred, lifespan, and non-acute care outcomes? How does this editorial relate to other HSR literature you’ve been reading recently?
Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows are invited to attend a trainee session with Dr. Robert Reid on patient-centred care, primary care delivery, and knowledge translation. Trainees will have the opportunity to share their work and receive feedback and guidance from Dr. Reid, Centre faculty and other attendees.
Dr. Reid is a senior investigator at Group Health Research Institute and medical director of research translation at Group Health Cooperative. Dr. Reid is a primary care physician with master’s training in public health and doctoral training in health policy and management. His research interests revolve around primary care organization and design, as well as the translation of preventive care research into day-to-day clinical practice.

How to apply to have your work discussed?
Limited space is available, and if you wish to have your work discussed please submit a short abstract (max. 200 words) to Logan Trenaman [trenaman (at) alumni (dot) ubc (dot) ca] by October 15. Three abstracts will be selected for presentation and discussion.
Interested in learning more about this topic?
If you do not wish to present, but would like to attend the session, please RSVP to Logan prior to November 1. In addition, you are encouraged to attend the C2E2 Annual Lecture (Nov 6 at 3pm, VGH Paetzold Lecture hall). Please RSVP for the Annual Lecture at www.C2E2.ca.
We invite graduate students from SPPH and other disciplines to join us for SHaRe – the Students in HeAlth REsearch peer club, a monthly meeting bringing health services research students together for knowledge exchange and peer review.
The plan is to meet the first Monday of each month from 4:00-5:30pm off-campus (near VGH – location TBD). There will be an option to skype in for the meetings.
Next meeting: Monday, November 3rd, 2014
