Biography
I have been a teacher and researcher for many years, with projects and publications ranging across lipoproteins, breast cancer prognostic factors, clinical laboratory toxicology, laboratory automation and medical education. My current collaborations are with community and academic partners to do research and translate that into programs that improve patient/client-health professional communication. Projects range from teaching adolescents in BC schools the skills for taking an active role in their healthcare, to actively involving community members in the education of health professional students. In other words, how to make informed and shared decision making between patients/clients and health professionals a reality.
