Dr. Durocher is an Occupational Therapist and Assistant Professor in the School of Rehabilitation Science. After graduating with her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from the University of Manitoba, Dr. Durocher worked with older adults in inpatient rehabilitation and complex continuing care.

In her work she examines misalignments between perspectives and mandates, and the implications of these for various stakeholders. She hopes to contribute to improving the lives as well as the health and social care experiences of older adults, their family members and healthcare professionals alike.
Dr. Durocher is also interested in ethical questions in practice in countries in the global south such as Rwanda.
