- Overview
-
My academic interests lie in examining the utilization of healthcare resources, such as emergency department use by patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and physicians' practice patterns during routine clinical care. These results allow us to target interventions to improve responsible resource use and antibiotic prescribing.

COVID-19 Impact on Pediatric Emergency Departments
We're exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected how frequently and how urgently patients are using the pediatric emergency departments (PED) across Canada.Reducing Emergency Department Crowding
We are evaluating parental preferences and patient characteristics associated with diversion of patients from the pediatric emergency department to outpatient care, as a first step toward reducing ED overcrowding.Emergency Department Clinician Practice Patterns
This study will describe emergency department clinician practice patterns in the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections, and how closely we are complying with established national guidelines.
Ensuring research participation is available to all Canadians
Improving language accessibility in clinical research studies helps pave the way for more equitable health outcomes, and makes research more generalizable to the local population.
