During his term as acting chairman of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, Université de Montréal (1988–1989), he established a Clinical Epidemiology teaching program at the graduate level at the university; his core course also being part of a similar program at McGill University, where he also was an adjunct professor at that time.
