Stephen Kwok-Wei Chan
MD
My research interests are focused on the interplay of regional anesthesia, education, and quality improvement. My educational goals include the ongoing development of an enriched curriculum that promotes knowledge transmission and innovation in regional anesthesia. In addition, I have an interest in identifying areas and methods in which anesthesia and regional anesthesia can advance its role in perioperative efficiency, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness through quality improvement initiatives.
