As a pediatric anesthesiologist specializing in regional blocks and pain management, research is needed to improve post-surgical outcomes and rapid return to function. Some surgeries are quite invasive and can have lengthy rehabilitation. Proper pain management is essential in aiding recovery and getting patients back to their normal lives.

Chronic Pain in Patients
Chronic pain can be difficult to live with and treat. I am currently looking at projects aimed at better understanding the patients who come to the chronic pain service, to assess if the therapies used in clinic are effective long term when the patients return home.
I am also interested in studying how the use of marijuana impacts the effectiveness of pain management therapies and anesthetics.
Each year, the University of British Columbia faculty of medicine recognizes faculty and staff members for excellence in teaching, research, administration, innovation and public service.
Congratulations to the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute investigators and staff members who are recognized in the 2022 UBC Faculty of Medicine Awards:
We believe there’s nothing we can’t do with your support. It can take years to turn scientific breakthrough into new interventions and treatments. Funding helps speed the pace of change. When given the resources, we can bring transformative therapies – and hope – out of the laboratory and into the clinic to save and improve children’s lives.
