Dr. Bouchard has joined the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation and Management as an Assistant Professor in July 2011.  Her current research interests are: 1- how to decrease rate of inactivity, 2- the role of age in lifestyle modifications and, 3-how obesity affects the physical capacity in older adults. 

Before joining University of Manitoba she has earned her doctoral degree in 2008, two post-docs from Queen’s University, and from Université de Sherbrooke.  She has received several honors in the aging field [e.g. Age plus prize from CIHR, Scientist-in-Training Research Award from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), CIHR graduate studies shcolarships]. Furthermore, she has been actively involved in the Canadian Obesity Network, and has recently started a blog (in French) with a colleague on obesity topics.
