Subject: Prospective PhD student: Allocation Des Ressources Dear Professor Bouthillier, 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 "What are the views of Quebec and Ontario citizens on the tiebreaker criteria for prioritizing access to adult critical care in the extreme context of a COVID-19 pandemic?" (2024), 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 "Priorisation des soins intensifs en contexte extrême de pandémie : 1) modélisation/simulation de différentes stratégies de priorisation de l'accès aux soins intensifs et 2) délibérations démocratiques des parties prenantes sur les valeurs qui sous-tendent les modèles et leurs impacts sanitaires." (2021), 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]
