Instructor Bio:
I work in two different clinical settings, and therefore have two general areas of research interest.
My primary interest is around supporting children and families who have faced marginalization or structural barriers to care. I am interested in how we can support families impacted by substance use disorder and poverty, and maximize health and development outcomes for their children. I am currently interested in understanding direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19 on vulnerable families, particularly those in the inner city.
I am also interesting in improving care for hospitalized children. I am specifically interested in making care more efficient for children with common infections, and maximizing evidence-based management of pediatric infections. I am working with a team at BC Children’s on a novel approach to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, to keep pediatric evidence updated and available in real time.
