In addition, Dr. Rochon recognizes the importance of mentorship to help build the capacity of health researchers in the area of aging. She is seeking a highly motivated trainee, who will play a key role in research designed to promote health and wellness in older women and men, with a particular emphasis on women. Much of the research will focus on using population level data to identify opportunities to improve the health of older adults.
