Dr. Seth Shaffer is an expert in the field of health economics and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and his research aims to improve the delivery of care for patients with IBD.
Dr. Shaffer's current research projects include assessing the indirect costs associated with IBD and identifying how therapies can reduce disability and unemployment. He is also working with Dr. Bernstein to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting IBD care within Manitoba, as well as establishing a microscopic colitis cohort to further understand this disease.
Dr. Shaffer's work is not only informative, but also innovative and impactful. As a research scientist at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM), Dr. Shaffer is affiliated with the International Research Network on Transitions to Adulthood from Care (INTRAC), SPOR Evidence Alliance Research Network, and Specialized Services for Children and Youth (SSCY) Research and Evaluation Committee.
His research findings can help to improve the lives of patients with IBD and make healthcare more efficient and cost-effective.
Dr. Shaffer trained in gastroenterology at the University of Manitoba. He then went to the University of Chicago to obtain a fellowship in inflammatory bowel disease, as well as a Master’s degree in public health sciences, with a focus in health economics. He returned to the University of Manitoba in July 2020 as an assistant professor in the department of internal medicine.
