Dr Clare Ardern is an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada (Department of Physical Therapy), where she brings researchers, patients, clinicians and health policy makers together to design digital health interventions for musculoskeletal problems. With expertise in sports medicine, rehabilitation and meta-research, Dr. Ardern is interested in (i) breaking down barriers to people accessing quality musculoskeletal health care when and where they need it, (ii) improving return to sport after injury, (iii) measuring the impact of health research on public policy, the economy and society, and (iv) how high-calibre meta-research (including systematic reviews, network meta-analyses, and clinical practice guidelines) can help clinicians make quality decisions. She is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT), and co-host of the popular weekly JOSPT Insights podcast.
