I am a pediatric anesthesiologist and have been involved in pain research and care for more than 30 years. My current clinical practice is in acute and complex pediatric pain management as part of an outstanding interdisciplinary team. My research has focused on different aspects of pain assessment, treatment, and service delivery, but most recently on pain as a global health issue and on research mobilization to support pain services in resource-limited settings (childkindinternational.org, kidsinpain.ca).

I was privileged to serve on the IASP Executive Committee for four years, and I look forward to continuing to advocate for pain care on an international level, at WHO and other government and non-government levels.
