| Biography | |
Angelique completed her BSc. in Integrated Science (Human Health and Biology) with a Co-op option at the University of British Columbia. She is currently working on her Masters in Community Health at Memorial University. Her research interests include factors associated with HCV treatment, such as referral pathways, eligibility for anti-viral treatment, patterns of drug prescribing by physicians and barriers to providing best practices for people living with HCV.
Angelique is a recipient of a studentship from the Atlantic Interdisciplinary Research Network (AIRN) for Social and Behavioral Issues in Hepatitis C and HIV, 2005.

| Testimony | |
Overall I feel quite fortunate to be part of such an amazing program. In the short time that I have been a trainee I have learned a great deal about the hepatitis C virus, both from clinical and basic science perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach has demonstrated the complexities of conducting research in this field and has also enabled me to build on areas that I would otherwise have not pursued, such as immunology, and virology.
Strengths:
1. The support network gained from being part of the program is unparalleled. To have access to researchers across Canada who are all studying HCV is extremely beneficial when one is starting out in a new area of research.
2. The mentorship and peer-support allowed for smooth adjustments into the program. In addition, I found the accessibility to resources (the online course documents, website information) to also be a huge help when trying to find contact information or class recordings.
3. Another strength is having Cathy Chau as an administrator. Cathy has allowed the group to stay connected and up to date on all of the activities that are going on, which has been a major benefit when trying to coordinate a large number of people all across Canada.
4. The program is challenging and thought provoking. It is great to receive comments and suggestions from scientists that have been in this area of research for years.
5. The opportunity to participate in a research elective is an amazing experience. I think that it is so important to meet people living with HCV and to see what goes on in a clinic. It is very easy to get caught in your own little “research-bubble?and to be oblivious to the human aspect of the disease.
