I am a new member of IPOS and very excited about the opportunities this international organization offers to advance psychosocial oncology research, policy and practice. Over the past 35 years, my research program has included evidence-based practice change and, more recently, the use of AI-tools to facilitate clinical decision support at the point-of-care. I am a current member of the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology's (CAPO) Research Advisory Committee and Chair the Guidelines Committee of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC).
My commitment to advancing high-quality scientific research includes my role as Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Supportive Care in Cancer. I was privileged this year to receive CAPO's Lifetime Achievement Award and to be inducted as a Fellow of MASCC.
Perhaps a fun fact that, when I travel internationally, I spend some time learning local culture and some of the language, as I really enjoy sampling local cuisine and social experiences.
