Idrissa Beogo

Idrissa Beogo (MBA, PhD), registered nurse, is an associate professor at the School of Nursing and director of the Health Equity for the Aged Lab. He has studied and worked in Japan, Taiwan, West Africa and Canada (Quebec City, Winnipeg and Ottawa). His extensive experience as an orderly and then, head nurse, with a long-term care home team, in seniors’ residences and in intermediate resources fuelled his interest in research on aging in minority language (anglophones in Quebec and francophones in the rest of Canada) and cultural (Blacks, Arabs, Asians, Latin Americans, etc.) settings.

Professor Beogo is an affiliated researcher with the Institut du Savoir Montfort and the LIFE Research Institute. He is also a member of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Black Health. He has received many grants, including from the Tri-Council (Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council), governments (Quebec’s Canadian intergovernmental affairs secretariat) and the Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS).

Professor Beogo is accepting new students for thesis supervision.
