Dr. Patrick Archambault, MD, MSc, FRCPC

Associate Professor, Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, and Department of Family and Emergency Medicine, Université Laval

Patrick Archambault works as an emergency and critical care physician and as a clinician-researcher at the CISSS Chaudière-Appalaches (Hôtel-Dieu de Lévis), and as an associate scientist at the CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research Centre since 2008. He obtained his medical degree from Université Laval in 2000 and completed his post-graduate training at Université Laval in 2005 to become a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as an emergency medicine specialist.

He completed a Royal College sub-specialization in critical care medicine at the University of Ottawa in 2007. Dr. Archambault graduated with honours from the master’s program in clinical research at Université Laval in 2007 and completed the clinician investigator program of the RCPCC. During his master’s studies, Dr. Archambault studied the negative impact of etomidate on the production of cortisol in traumatic brain injuries. Dr. Archambault completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr André Lavoie on the “Performance of a Continuum of Services in Trauma”. He completed his training in Knowledge Translation under the direction of France Légaré, André Lavoie, and Jean Lapointe. Dr. Archambault’s projects have been focused on the implementation of a wiki reminder system to help physicians caring for critically ill trauma patients share evidence-based therapeutic protocols.
