Biography
Dr. Louise Chartrand has worked in various cities under many settings as a respiratory therapist.
Since respiratory therapy was not considered at the university level, she had to choose another discipline. In 2004, Dr. Chartrand went back to school to complete her undergraduate’s degree.
Human behavior had always been at the centre of Dr. Chartrand`s interest, which is why she pursued an undergraduate degree in psychology and anthropology.
During that time, she really fell in love with the two disciplines and she decided to complete her master’s degree and doctorate’s degree in sociology.
As she completed her master’s and doctorate’s degrees, she was under the supervision of Julie Laplante, a medical anthropologist.
Therefore, she has a rich interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to various subjects that are at the intersection of society and respiratory health.
