Five years after it was established, the March of Dimes Canada Paul J.J. Martin Early Career Professorship has made an important contribution to improving community integration for individuals with acquired brain injury. Driving this progress has been Dr. Emily Nalder, Assistant Professor, Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto and the first researcher to hold the professorship.

In delivery of her research program, Dr. Nalder has worked with March of Dimes Canada and their clients, families and partners. She has examined how to optimize the participation of individuals living with brain injury, by understanding and targeting resiliency, breaking down silos in service delivery and through innovations in housing services and supports.

With Dr. Nalder’s term ending, applications are being sought to fill the second five-year term for the professorship. Find out more at University of Toronto Careers.
