Director of the Diabetes Clinic
The IRCM Diabetes Clinic assesses and treats patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We offer specialized multidisciplinary care and conduct teaching activities for patients and healthcare professionals, in addition to conducting research projects on metabolism and obesity. These objectives aim to reduce the negative consequences of diabetes for our patients.
The Type 1 Diabetes Clinic is one of the largest in the province of Quebec for adult patient care. It offers services for patients using multiple injections or an insulin pump.
The Type 2 Diabetes Clinic primarily provides services to patients when they begin using injectable therapies, as well as to patients with cardiovascular disease.
We also treat rare forms of diabetes such as diabetes secondary to cystic fibrosis.

The Hypertension Clinic assesses and treats patients who have rare blood pressure regulation disorders. A pioneer and still at the forefront of this field of expertise in Canada, the Clinic provides postgraduate training and participates in research on hypertension. The research protocols that are underway mainly focus on new methods of diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment, and aim to improve disease management for hypertensive patients.

and Cardiovascular Prevention Clinic
The Lipids, Nutrition and Cardiovascular Prevention Clinic assesses and treats patients with elevated blood cholesterol and other fats in the blood, as well ast patients at risk of developing cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. To better understand the origin of these lipid disorders and their complications, the team studies the nutritional, biochemical, genetic, molecular, and pharmacological aspects of these issues to offer new and more effective treatments and to reduce complications.
The Research Centre on Rare and Genetic Diseases in Adults is the only place in Canada where the focus is on transitioning patients with rare diseases from pediatric to adult care. Combining medical care and research, our team provides a better understanding of several types of rare diseases.
