Working in partnership with communities, health and policy leaders, and clinicians, recent studies have focused on: the impact of organizational interventions to improve health equity in primary health care; health promoting interventions with Indigenous women experiencing violence; and strategies to improve equity-oriented care in emergency departments.

She has taught advanced health assessment to nurse practitioners and post-RNs for many years, and she is the Canadian co-editor of Jarvis’s Physical Examination and Health Assessment, Canadian Edition.
