“Canadian women remain under resourced for their pelvic floor issues. The CSPM is the leading professional society attending to their agenda, and establishing strong scientific evidence in a Canadian population is part of that mission. My personal experience as a clinician scientist in urogynaecology has proven how challenging it is to develop the infrastructure for a successful research program. On my research journey, I benefited tremendously from research mentors who brought generosity and experience to guide me towards success. I joined the CSPM Mentorship Program to pay it forward.”

“Being a part of the CSPM research mentorship program has been most helpful as I have started my career as a Urogynecologist in an academic setting. When starting practice, it is easy to become consumed by clinical practice and working with my mentor has allowed me to gain practical advice on how to ensure research gets time on the schedule. It has been valuable to have someone to bounce ideas off of and help get my research practice off the ground as well.”
