He is a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Applied Chair in Health Services and Policy Research for his work that brings together clinicians, scientists and policy‐makers. His research focuses on health service utilization, quality of care and patient outcomes as they relate to emergency care, and the study of interventions designed to reduce emergency department waiting times.
