One of my research goals focuses on using research quality patient-reported outcome measures in clinical care to understand the patient’s perspective along their cancer journey: from the time of their diagnosis pre-treatment to post-treatment survivorship care. By understanding the patient's experience, opportunities exist to engage patients in their care, address symptoms and intervene in a timely manner and ultimately improve their clinical outcomes.
Research interests:
• Sexual health in patients with cervical cancer
• Patient-reported outcomes, quality of life and survivorship care in patients with gynecological and breast cancers
• Implementation and evaluation of mentorship programs within academic medicine and radiation oncology
