He served as the Chair of the Association of Chairs of Psychiatry of Canada (ACPC) and President of the Canadian College of Neuropsychopharmacology (CCNP).

He has been actively involved in psychiatric and mental-health research. His main research interest has been in the field of anxiety disorders, for which he gained an international reputation. He was the first to hypothesize that the neuropeptide cholecystokinin (CCK) has a role in the etiology of panic attacks in humans. He also carries out research on the integration of biological, psychological and spiritual approaches in the treatment of anxiety disorders, as well as on approaches used by complementary medicines. His research articles have appeared in high-impact journals such as Nature, Archives of General Psychiatry and the American Journal of Psychiatry.

He participated in the creation of a provincial association for anxiety disorders (Association Trouble Anxieux Quebec, ATAQ), as well as a national network for anxiety and mood disorders (Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments, CANMAT). He has also been a lead for anxiety treatment guidelines for Ontario. He has been active in the public dissemination of information on anxiety disorders and made more than 400 educational media appearances.

As Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, he is credited with the creation of an MD/PhD Program, the Medical Devices Innovation, the School of Epidemiology, Public Health and Preventative Medicine, the Department of Innovation in Medical Education, a Program in Medicine and the Humanities and the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Center, one of the largest medical simulation centers in North America at the time of its construction. He has also championed the creation of a pan-university institute, the uOttawa Brain and Mind Research Institute and has actively promoted and supported leadership training and wellness programs for physicians, professors and trainees in medicine.

From 2012 to 2014, he was Chair of the Board of Directors of the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC). He is a Visiting Professor at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and a Founding Dean of the Ottawa Shanghai Joint School of Medicine at Renji Hospital in Shanghai, which was created jointly by the University of Ottawa and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and is the first initiative to introduce a Western medical curriculum in China. He has been an Overseas Foreign Expert (2015-2020) and is certified as High-Level Talent (Category A) for the People’s Republic of China (2019-2029). He has participated on a part-time basis in the development of mental-health services at Renji Hospital in Shanghai, where he also holds a license for the practice of psychiatry.
