What are some key responsibilities in your current role, and what do you enjoy most about your role?
Designing and running randomized clinical trials, primarily for stroke treatment and rehabilitation. Working on research infrastructure both locally, provincially and nationally.
What experience(s) or aspect(s) of your graduate education in Community Health Sciences have helped you the most in your career?
For what I am doing currently, the clinical epidemiology training was simply put, essential. In addition, as a practising physician, clinical epidemiology training is immeasurably helpful in the way of thinking about individual illnesses and their treatment. The training is an important part of how I treat patients.
What advice do you have for incoming or current graduate students?
Clin-epi rocks!
Are you open to being contacted by students for an informational interview about my career or current position?
