MSc, MDCM

Investigator, BC Children's Hospital
Program Director, Pediatric General Surgery

As a clinical scientist, I focus on research with direct clinical relevance to my area of practice: pediatric surgery. I engage in systematic reviews of available evidence and perform high impact single or multi-institutional clinical trials concerning congenital or acquired surgical conditions in children. A secondary goal of my research is the support of family-centered care through the design and creation of new technology tools (Apps, websites) - as an example, see myfirstsurgery.com.
