Throughout the year, the Family Engagement in Research (FER) newsletters are sent to FER students and graduates, family partners, and researchers. Newsletters include featured FER Grads’ accomplishments and knowledge translation tools, opportunities for engagement (e.g., webinars, conferences, employment, etc.), and publications related to family and patient engagement in research. We encourage anyone who is interested in receiving the newsletter to sign up.
