I am a full-service family doctor and researcher. I live as an uninvited visitor on the unceded, traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), and the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations. These lands are also known as Vancouver, British Columbia.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia where I study the "family doctor shortage" and underlying issues related to primary care access. I have developed tools to better describe where and how much primary care is being delivered. And, how family physician career patterns have changed over time. I am specifically interested in the type of healthcare organization that is needed to provide equitable, high-quality team-based care to all people who need it, and at the same time offers a rewarding and sustainable work environment for family physicians and other primary care providers.

My other research work includes primary care prescribing patterns, assessing the effects of too much medication, and effective methods to change prescribing patterns. I have a particular interest in the intended and unintended consequences of "better opioid prescribing" education and policies, and how they impact health equity.
