Research
Meet the research side of Matthew Prebeg. I think there's real change that can be made through good old fashioned empirical research. That being said, I like to think I've taken my own unconventional twists in my approaches. Qualitative research (the kind that involves observation and communication rather than numbers) is a methodology that particularly interests me, because I think it gives us such rich and interesting learnings that can't exactly be explained with formulas. I'm always eager to use what my Bachelor of Science taught me, and what my Master of Health Science in translational research is currently teaching me.

The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of conducting a controlled clinical trial of the pathway.
