Research Focus

The overarching goal of my research program is to improve rehabilitation care in individuals with chronic disease. Within this main focus, my research program comprises three interrelated streams: improving patient uptake of rehabilitation; facilitating implementation and adoption of evidence-based rehabilitation interventions in clinical practice; and evaluating new rehabilitation interventions and physical activity programming. I am leading rehabilitation studies in two main patient populations: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and solid organ transplant (SOT) candidates and recipients.
