Job Summary

Much of this work involves evaluating the efficacy of digital health interventions in various contexts such as community health promotion, improved health service delivery and innovative program evaluation educational approaches. The role also encompasses liaising with stakeholders and co-planning and organization health promotion and self-management events for multicultural and Indigenous communities.

Organizational Status

The vision of the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine is to be a provincially integrated Department committed to clinical, academic, and health care delivery leadership, founded in the creation and exchange of knowledge to improve emergency care. Our faculty members across the province have an impressive record of research and discovery related to prevention of emergencies, improving clinical care, and system improvements. Our Royal College residency training program, distributed across four program sites, is the largest in the country providing high-quality emergency training. The Department of Emergency Medicine has also played a leadership role in the development and implementation of the BC Emergency Medicine Network which integrates and translates knowledge and experiences to support emergency practitioners across the province.

The Digital Emergency Medicine research program, led by Dr. Kendall Ho, conducts research on the use of digital technologies to improve healthcare delivery and raising digital health literacy. Digital Emergency Medicine carries out research, community engagement, and educational activities to explore how modern information and communication technologies (e.g. mobile and web-based applications, etc.) can improve health care. Our mission is to transform emergency medicine through technology enabled, health professional and patient oriented strategies for excellence in acute and community care.
