My research role at NTS has provided me the opportunity to pursue my interest in improving patient care via the expansion and reach of pharmacist services. My clinical, teaching and leadership experience has provided the foundation to conduct research into innovative solutions to address health care disparities in remote and rural communities, oftentimes for those most vulnerable. In addition, using remote technologies, NTS offers many opportunities for professional growth: provision of patient care in many small and diverse hospitals, development and implementation of innovative programs and services, publication, and conferences presentations throughout Canada.
