I am incredibly grateful to be a recipient of the @CIHR_IRSC CGS-D Award!

My research aims to investigate the effects of social determinants of health on the incidence & outcomes of sepsis to inform health policy and equitable healthcare practices.

Spent the morning at @CBCNews, where we joined Matt Galloway on The Current.

@DrKaliBarrett & I discussed the significant burden of #sepsis—accounting for 1 in 5 hospitalizations—and emphasized the need for a coordinated, Sepsis National Action Plan.

@Elena_Kum @DrKaliBarrett You are too kind, thank you 🥰☺️

"Canada doesn't have a national plan on sepsis. Researchers say that needs to change."

@DrKaliBarrett & I spoke with CBC to highlight upcoming work, revealing key gaps in sepsis policies, guidelines, and health professional training standards.
