I have clinical duties at both the Royal Victoria Hospital and Montreal General Hospital, including participation in the multidisciplinary bariatric surgery clinic and obesity clinic, where I am actively involved in teaching students and supervising medical residents.
My special interest lies in obesity, weight management and bariatric surgery. My research focuses on the nutritional, metabolic and bone effects of obesity and bariatric surgery. I am currently collaborating on clinical research on the bone effects after bariatric surgery, through funding by a Diabetes Canada research grant.
