In Quebec, medical research advances every day thanks to dedicated teams working to improve the treatments of tomorrow. Since 2006, Diex Recherche has played an important role in this progress, with centers established in Sherbrooke, Quebec City, Victoriaville, Joliette, and Trois-Rivières. Through a structured and human-centered approach, the organization actively contributes to medical advancement.
Better Understanding Clinical Research
Clinical research involves evaluating new medications or treatments within a highly controlled medical setting. These studies allow researchers to confirm the effectiveness and safety of treatments before they are prescribed on a large scale.
It is important to emphasize that this is in no way blind experimentation. Each project is carefully supervised by independent ethics committees and conducted in accordance with strict international standards known as Good Clinical Practices. Before a medication becomes available to the public, it is first studied in specialized centers such as those operated by Diex Recherche.
Workshops Offered Directly in Senior Living Residences
Diex Recherche offers to visit senior living residences directly to provide informational and awareness workshops on clinical studies. These sessions are designed to be accessible, welcoming, and adapted to each resident, regardless of their level of autonomy. Do not hesitate to share this initiative with your recreation and activity teams, who play a key role in organizing meaningful activities for residents.
Far from being technical or intimidating, the workshops encourage discussion and questions. They help residents better understand how medical research works, why it is essential, and how everyone can contribute, in their own way, to advancing knowledge.
The goal is clear: to offer a supervised, human, and meaningful activity that contributes to medical progress while respecting the pace, abilities, and interests of seniors. For senior living managers, this initiative complements existing programming by stimulating curiosity, encouraging interaction, and highlighting resident engagement.

Expertise Tailored to Each Region
Depending on where the workshop takes place, Diex Recherche presents clinical research from a general perspective while highlighting the specialties of the nearest center. For example, the Trois-Rivières location specializes in prostate cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and pulmonary conditions.
In Quebec City, studies focus more on dermatological and liver diseases. This approach makes the content even more concrete and relevant for residents by connecting it to the health issues studied in their own region.
A Valuable Collaboration
With nearly 20 years of experience, a presence in five regions across Quebec, and hundreds of projects completed, Diex Recherche embodies a vision of research where science and humanity move forward together. For senior living residences, collaborating with Diex Recherche means enriching residents’ living environments by offering a structured, informative, and rewarding activity, while also contributing to the advancement of healthcare in Quebec.
