Biographie

Le D^r Vaillancourt a décroché son diplôme de médecine à l’Université de Montréal en 1994, avant d’obtenir son diplôme en médecine d’urgence au Collège Royal de McGill en 1999. Il a également décroché une maîtrise en épidémiologie à l’Université d’Ottawa en 2003. Il est actuellement professeur titulaire au Département de médecine d’urgence de l’Université d’Ottawa et scientifique principal à l’Institut de recherche de l’Hôpital d’Ottawa. M. Vaillancourt est affecté conjointement à l’École d’épidémiologie, de santé publique et de médecine préventive, et est membre de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales. Il a été nommé titulaire d’une chaire de recherche de l’Université d’Ottawa en réanimation cardiaque d’urgence, et est directeur médical adjoint au programme régional paramédical pour l’Est de l’Ontario. Son programme de recherche porte sur les soins préhospitaliers, plus précisément sur l’amélioration des soins et du taux de survie chez les personnes victimes d’un arrêt cardiaque et d’un traumatisme. Il préside le comité de réanimation de L’Hôpital d’Ottawa et est cochercheur principal et président du Consortium canadien de recherche en réanimation (CanROC), un réseau national de centres de recherche sur les arrêts cardiaques.
