Subject: Prospective PhD student: Organ Donation Dear Professor Fortin, 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 "Quebec lung, liver and heart transplant recipients' perspectives on self-narratives and their experiences in creative writing workshops during the transplantation journey: a qualitative study." (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 "A mixed methods study of stakeholders' perspectives on ethical and logistical issues related to advanced living donation in kidney transplantation in Canada, and a proposal for guidelines in a Canadian context." (2019), 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]
