Research goals

Using patient-oriented and learning health systems approaches, my program of research focuses on advancing health equity in the context of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), particularly for persons experiencing health and social inequities. Our team's work focuses on bringing together people with lived and living experience, community organizations, and healthcare team members to explore and strengthen community-based supports for equity-deserving populations seeking MAiD.
