Terence Kwan-Wong

MD, MEd, FRCSC

Investigator and Plastic Surgeon, BC Children's Hospital

My clinical research is guided by conditions treated in my practice including congenital hand differences, cleft lip and palate, birth-related brachial plexus injuries, facial paralysis, and post-traumatic / post-oncologic reconstruction. I am particularly interested in process improvement to optimize access to care, enhance patient and family experiences, and improve clinical outcomes.

I am also interested in the optimization of knowledge and skills acquisition through application of adult learning theories, evidence-based integration of technologies, and consideration of learner factors such as resilience and empowerment. My goal is to apply these findings for the benefit of medical trainees at all levels, as well as for the purpose of interdisciplinary education for learners in other specialties and health professions.
