PhD
I am interested in the use of clinical and administrative databases in ways that would help support optimal decision-making in the provision of healthcare to paediatric populations.
The projects I am involved with aim at using this information-base in evaluating health programs, understanding healthcare utilization patterns where cost savings are possible, exploring relationships between quality of care and costs, and providing baseline information that could be used in developing interventions to promote health.

Summer is here – and Canadian families are flocking to beaches, lakes and pools to beat the heat.
But, when the right precautions aren’t taken, swimming and other water activities can be risky, especially for babies and young children who can drown in as little as an inch of water – in a matter of seconds.
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.
