    Collapse Overview
    My program of research addresses two distinct fields of inquiry, 1) Patient level clinical research in palliative care is aimed at assessing the prevalence and severity of symptoms among chronically ill patients; and 2) institutional and programmatic research focuses on examining the characteristics of palliative care programs and the impact on patient level outcomes.
