U of R’s R. Nicholas Carleton honoured as Canadian Academy of Health Sciences 2020 Fellow –

September 18, 2020

Dr. R. Nicholas Carleton has made it his life’s work to understand human response to trauma and the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as he helps, alongside colleagues at the University of Regina, across Canada, and around the word, improve the mental health and resiliency of Public Safety Personnel (PSP) who work every day to help people in distress.

As a professor of psychology at the University of Regina and Scientific Director for the U of R’s Canadian Institute for Public Safety Research and Treatment (CIPSRT), Carleton has been working tirelessly to connect PSP leaders across Canada, researchers, and policy-makers to develop and mobilize the knowledge needed to better support PSP mental health.

Today, Carleton is being honoured for his work as a leader in Canadian health sciences with one of the highest accolades granted to scholars in Canada. He has been accepted as a 2020 Fellow in the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS), an association of Canada’s top-ranked scientists and scholars in health sciences. CAHS Fellows play a vital role in developing actionable solutions to the urgent health concerns of Canadians by providing independent, objective, strategic, and evidence-based analyses to inform public policy development.
