Quebec Liberal Party leader Charles Milliard, Brome-Missisquoi MNA Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beauchemin and local activists, Pierre Cossette was officially nominated as the QLP candidate in the Sherbrooke riding.<\/strong>\n<p>After beginning his career as a physician and teacher, and spending many years as a manager in hospitals and universities, Pierre Cossette is entering provincial politics as a member of the Quebec Liberal Party. After earning a doctorate in medicine from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al in 1991, he pursued postdoctoral studies in internal medicine at the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, completing them in 1995. He also obtained a Master's degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from McGill University in 1999. In 1997, he became a professor in the Department of Medicine, before rising through the Faculty's administrative ranks to become Dean in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>An avid supporter of development and innovation within his organization, Pierre Cossette led the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences to undertake a complete overhaul of the medical program, create a clinical simulation laboratory in cooperation with the CHUS, and develop the first cooperative nursing program in Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, he became Rector of the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, a position he will hold until 2025. Under his leadership, thanks to the work of mobilized and committed teams, the university doubles its research revenues and implements a partnership strategy that will contribute to the development of nearly 500 research and innovation projects involving students, mainly with SMEs and the Quebec community. UdeS is also distinguished by the highest rating ever awarded in the world in the STARS sustainable development ranking.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019engagement de M. Cossette a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu \u00e0 maintes reprises. En 2008, il a re\u00e7u le Grand prix du conseil d\u2019administration du Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS), en plus d\u2019\u00eatre r\u00e9cipiendaire du Prix Leadership de l\u2019Association qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise des \u00e9tablissements de sant\u00e9 et de services sociaux en 2009. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 re\u00e7u \u00e0 l\u2019Ordre national du Qu\u00e9bec, au rang de Chevalier en juin 2024.

Ces reconnaissances illustrent l\u2019impact de son leadership dans les domaines des services de sant\u00e9, de la science, de la recherche et de l\u2019enseignement sup\u00e9rieur.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00a0\u00bbin_container\u00a0\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00a0\u00bbmiddle\u00a0\u00bb column_margin=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb scene_position=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb text_color=\u00a0\u00bbdark\u00a0\u00bb text_align=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00a0\u00bbbg\u00a0\u00bb row_position_desktop=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb row_position_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb row_position_phone=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb overflow=\u00a0\u00bbvisible\u00a0\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00a0\u00bb0.3\u2033 gradient_direction=\u00a0\u00bbleft_to_right\u00a0\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00a0\u00bbbottom\u00a0\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00a0\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00a0\u00bball\u00a0\u00bb flex_gap_desktop=\u00a0\u00bb10px\u00a0\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00a0\u00bb1\u2033 background_hover_color_opacity=\u00a0\u00bb1\u2033 column_backdrop_filter=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_shadow=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_link_target=\u00a0\u00bb_self\u00a0\u00bb column_position=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00a0\u00bbleft_to_right\u00a0\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00a0\u00bb0.3\u2033 width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/1\u2033 tablet_width_inherit=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb animation_type=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb border_type=\u00a0\u00bbsimple\u00a0\u00bb column_border_width=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_border_style=\u00a0\u00bbsolid\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb text_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p><blockquote><p>\"Drawing on my career in medicine and my experience as a manager in hospitals and universities, I decided to pursue my commitment to the development of my community by getting involved in provincial politics, under the leadership of Charles Milliard.
