Profile
Dr. Richardson is the Scientific Director of MacDonald Franklin OSI Research Centre and a Professor of Psychiatry at Western University. A psychiatrist who has spent his career working with Veterans, serving members, and their families, he has built the Centre into one of Canada's most productive research engines in military and Veteran mental health.
He represents Canada in NATO and Five Eyes research collaborations and co-chairs the Canadian Psychiatric Association's Military and Veteran Section.
His clinical work continues alongside his research. The questions the Centre answers begin in the clinic — and the answers return there.
