Maxi Miciak PT, PhD

Maxi Miciak, PT, PhD completed her doctoral studies in Rehabilitation Science at the University of Alberta (UofA), Edmonton, Canada. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Alberta Innovates and UofA, serving as the inaugural Cy Frank Fellow in Impact Assessment. Her research focuses on operationalizing patient-centred care by developing, implementing, and evaluating care models that impact the patient-practitioner therapeutic relationship, including how health services and policies support this relationship. Her interest in this area developed over 13 years as a clinician working in private practice and on interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams supporting people with chronic physical conditions and psychological dysregulation. She is currently engaged in developing frameworks to evaluate research impact on informed decision making and the scale and spread of research and innovation in the health system.
