Research or Clinical Activities

Dr Morin’s research program focuses on the evaluation of outcomes of osteoporosis and its treatment through the conduct of clinical trials, analysis of large healthcare administrative datasets and of large cohorts, and implementation of initiatives for patients who have sustained fractures such as secondary fracture prevention, pain management and functional recovery, with an interest in wearables and mobile applications. She studies the pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-associated atypical femur fractures and has initiated and lead the Quebec AFF Registry. She is a leader in clinical practice guidelines development for the management and prevention of osteoporosis and fractures.
