Biography

After undergoing a kidney transplant in 2008, Nicolas Fernandez learned to manage peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis treatments over eight years. Combined with a research career in pedagogy and teaching, this new life enabled him to familiarize himself with chronic disease self-management and patient self-efficacy. He largely completed his doctoral thesis during his treatment sessions at the dialysis center. Fernandez has publications in cognitive sciences, medical education, small group development, and collaboration. Since 2010, he has worked within the Director of Collaboration and Patient Partnership and regularly contributes to initiatives aimed at integrating the patient perspective into training for health professionals and organizational change in clinical environments.
