Research

Over the past two years, the Division of General Pediatrics has collaborated with other UBC divisions and Children’s departments to implement new clinical pathways and guidelines for asthma, urinary tract infections, laryngotracheobronchitis, and bronchiolitis. In each case, significant changes in health care to these populations have occurred as a result of implementation. Children are more effectively treated, improve more rapidly and require fewer hospital admissions.

Many members of the division have been involved in academic endeavours. Faculty have conducted and published research and delivered lectures on topics such as infant feeding and nutrition problems, pediatric pain, childhood asthma, chest pain, child maltreatment, recurrent pediatric abdominal pain and meningomyelocele.
