Even though he works in an academic family medicine setting, he provides "full service" family medicine, including after hours coverage and care for patients in the office, those admitted to hospital, and those on the labour floor. He is a former Associate Dean of Continuing Medical Education and a former Family Medicine Program Director. He enjoys teaching many subjects to undergraduate and postgraduate medical trainees, but critical appraisal and procedural skills are two of his favorite areas. His research interests include guideline development and influencing physician clinical behavior, especially in the areas of osteoporosis and diabetes.
