A psychiatrist and researcher-clinician, Dr. Beaulieu is interested primarily in bipolar disorders and major depression.

This honour, awarded by the Quebec Medical Association, underlines the exceptional commitment of a doctor having a teaching responsibility in one of the faculties of medicine in Quebec.
