EDUCATION/TRAINING

Personal Statement

I have the expertise, leadership, training, and motivation necessary to successfully carry out the proposed research project. I have a broad background in, with specific training and expertise in anesthesiology, cancer pain and palliative care research. As PI or co-Investigator, I have been involved in difficult airway management, perioperative anaesthesia management, cancer pain and palliative care of terminally ill cancer patients. I have been able to recruit and track participants over time as required in these projects. In addition, I successfully administered the projects (e.g. staffing, research protections, budget), collaborated with other researchers, and produced several peer-reviewed publications. I am also aware of the importance of frequent communication among project members and of constructing a realistic research plan, timeline, and budget.
