Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Background

Dr. Pierre Côté is the Former Canada Research Chair in Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation. He is the Director of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology-Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (UOIT-CMCC) Centre for the Study of Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation as well as, the Ontario Tech University Research Excellence Chair in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation. Dr. Côté also holds appointments at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto.

He graduated as a chiropractor from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1989. In 1996 he obtained a Master of Surgery degree from the University of Saskatchewan where he studied the Epidemiology of Neck and Back Pain in the General Population. He completed his PhD in Epidemiology and a minor in Research Bioethics at the University of Toronto in 2002. In 2003, he received a five-year New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Dr. Côté was a member of the scientific secretariat of the 2000-2010 Bone and Joint Task Force on Neck Pain and its Associated Disorders, a large international collaboration aimed at synthesizing the scientific evidence on the problem of neck pain. In 2010, he reviewed and proposed modifications to the definition of catastrophic impairment related to traffic collision for the Financial Services Commission of Ontario to develop evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of Common Traffic Injuries to the Ontario Government in 2015. He is currently the co-principal investigator (with the Canadian Mental Health Association-Durham) of a seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to study mental health and wellness in undergraduate students at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

Dr. Côté is also the Chair of the Methodological Committee for Cochrane Rehabilitation, and Chair of the European Diploma Interprofessional Spine Care (EDISC).

    Research area of specialty:
    • epidemiology of musculoskeletal disorders and disability.
    • evidence-based rehabilitation of chronic musculoskeletal disorders and injury.
    • randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and case-control studies.
    • systematic reviews and methodology.
    • mental health, pain and wellness in university students.

    Dr. Côté’s research focuses on understanding the etiology of musculoskeletal pain and disability. His interest resides in explaining the interactions between individual and societal determinants of health. His work aims to identify clinical and population-based interventions to improve functioning in the population. He is also invested in the translation of scientific evidence into policy and the development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines in the field of rehabilitation.

    Dr. Côté is the Director of the Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research (IDRR). Please visit the IDRR website for more information https://idrr.ontariotechu.ca.
