Academic
Executive Team
The Executive Team (ET) is made up of clinicians and professors who provide overall direction and guidance to the SCOPE project. Members of the ET are involved in community-based initiatives and publish results that will help us address the prevention of obesity in children and youth in our communities. This team also helps SCOPE to develop partnerships locally and in the Province of BC to support SCOPE’s ongoing work.
This team regularly reviews and discusses each phase of the project, the plan to evaluate SCOPE, and the projects and reports that are produced by the SCOPE project.
