Pediatric Hospital Medicine Children with Medical Complexity Child Health Equity

Research

My research focuses on advancing equitable, family-centred care for hospitalized children, with a particular emphasis on pediatric hospital medicine and children with medical complexity. Using mixed-methods and participatory approaches, I study how health system structures, clinical practices, and provider assumptions shape the experiences and outcomes of structurally marginalized children and families.

A central theme of my work is health equity, including the ethical and practical use of sociodemographic data, language-concordant care for families who use languages other than English, and strategies to reduce administrative burden and improve care coordination. I also examine how trust, bias, and the clinical learning environment influence care delivery, with the goal of informing policy, education, and system-level change. Across projects, I partner closely with patients, families, clinicians, and health system leaders to co-design solutions that improve hospital experiences and outcomes for children with complex health needs.

There are opportunities for MSc students with interest in health services research in health equity and pediatrics. Interested individuals should reach out with CV and past transcripts
