Excited our team members will lead a @CIHR_IRSC funded study to explore int’l trends in @ErasSociety guideline uptake and barriers to better evidence-based care. Optimizing surgical care is more critical now than ever so more patients reap the benefits of evidence-based care.

I just had one of the most rewarding experiences - the first (inaugural) @ohlson_research Patient Advisory Council meeting! I know these partners are going to question our assumptions and make our research so much more meaningful for patients. We are still welcoming members.⬇️

@Rosie_Twomey is a postdoctoral fellow with @ohlson_research who is improving the care of patients with Head & Neck Cancers by advocating for exercise before and after surgery. Rosie's work will ensure patients who undergo Head & Neck surgery have the best outcomes.
