I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia, and a principal investigator in the UBC Centre for Heart Lung Innovation. My research is focused on three main themes: Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Hospitalized Patients with an Acute Exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD); Pulmonary Tele-Rehabilitation; and Indigenous Lung Health. As a physiotherapist and researcher, I have been involved in pulmonary rehabilitation research, clinical care, and policy for over 25 years, and I’m delighted to bring this course to you.
