Subject: Prospective PhD student: Continuous Quality Improvement Dear Professor Vachon, My name is [your name], and I am a [your current degree or role] at [your institution]. I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "Adaptation, cross-cultural validation, and assessment of measurement properties of the French-Canadian version of the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) for use regarding sexual health services in stroke rehabilitation." (2026), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Évaluation de l'acceptabilité d'un Programme de 1re Ligne d'Interventions en Ergothérapie pour le Rétablissement et le Retour au travail des personnes ayant un Trouble Mental Courant (P1LIERR-TMC)" (2023), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
