ÌýÌýFrederic Grou-Boileau, MDFrédéric is a third-year general surgery resident at À¦°óSMÉçÇø and is currently pursuing a Master’s of Clinical Epidemiology. His goal is to help improve the perioperative experience of patients. This year, he will look at the financial impact of surgery on patients (resulting from uncovered medical expenses, lost productivity, etc.), an aspect of surgical care that has been poorly described so far. He is also interested in exploring how understanding the financial implications of treatment alternatives can then influence patients’ medical decisions. His aim is to help shared decision-making between doctors and patients by portraying the full implications and effects a surgery can have on someone’s life. |
