Dr. Pierre Côté is the Canada Research Chair in Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation. He graduated from CMCC 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 was awarded a five-year New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Prior to joining UOIT, Dr. Côté was a scientist in the Division of Health Care and Outcomes Research at the Toronto Western Research Institute and an Associate Professor of epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. He was a member of the Scientific Secretariat of the 2000-2010 Bone and Joint Task Force on Neck Pain and its Associated Disorders and also held a 2010 appointment as Chair of the Catastrophic Impairment Expert Panel.

Dr. Côté also holds appointments at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto.

Personal Notes

Research area of specialty: Determinants of disability Epidemiology of musculoskeletal disorders and disability Evidence-based management of chronic disorders and injury Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and systematic reviews Record linkage Relationship between depression and back and neck pain Traffic injury epidemiology Research background and interests: Dr. Côté’s research focuses on understanding the etiology of pain and disability related to musculoskeletal disorders. His interest resides in explaining the interactions between individual and societal determinants of health. His work aims to identify modifiable risk factors and design interventions that will reduce the burden of chronic pain and disability in the population. He is also interested in the translation of scientific evidence into policy. Dr. Côté’s is Director of the UOIT-CMCC Centre for the Study of Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation. The goals of the centre are to: Define best practices for the prevention and rehabilitation of disability. Generate new knowledge through quantitative and qualitative research. Contribute to policy development through knowledge transfer and exchange with stakeholders.
