Research Focus

My research focuses on the evaluation of outcomes of osteoporosis and its treatment, and implementation of health system improvement initiatives for patients who have sustained fractures such as secondary fracture prevention, pain management and functional recovery. I also study the pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-associated atypical femur fractures and safety of calcium supplements on vascular health in postmenopausal women. I am a leader in clinical practice guidelines development for the management and prevention of osteoporosis and fractures.
