What is your interest in clinical trials?
• My interest in clinical trials stems from a commitment to advancing evidence- based practice in rehabilitation medicine, especially in the area of stroke rehabilitation. By contributing to and leading clinical trials, I aim to generate high-quality data that can directly impact patient care, improve health outcomes, and advance precision rehabilitation.
Why do you think clinical trials are important?
• Clinical trials are essential for rigorously testing new interventions and understanding their safety and effectiveness. By contributing to and leading clinical trials, I aim to generate high-quality data that can directly impact patient care, improve health outcomes, and advance precision rehabilitation.
What is your personal philosophy about clinical trial training specifically or mentorship in general?
• I believe effective mentorship in clinical trial training is about fostering critical thinking, upholding high ethical standards, and a passion for rigorous research. My approach is usually collaborative, supporting mentees in developing the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct impactful, patient-centered studies. Through sharing my experiences and guiding the mentee to grow, we are creating a community of researchers dedicated to advancing clinical trials in Canada and beyond.
FUN FACT: When I first arrived in Canada, I bought the largest boots I could find to prepare for winter. I never wore them past the first year!
