I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "One in Twenty: Prevalence and Outcomes of Patients Brought to EDs Under Québec's P-38 Mental Health Act-A Retrospective Cohort Study: Un patient sur vingt : prévalence et résultats chez les patients ayant été admis au service des urgences en vertu de la loi p-38 du Québec sur la santé mentale-Étude de cohorte rétrospective." (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 "Dérivation et validation d'un outil de stratification du risque applicable en préhospitalier pour déterminer le risque qu'une personne âgée nécessite des soins d'urgence et/ou une hospitalisation après une chute" (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.
