Alexander Dubrovsky is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. He serves as an Associate Investigator at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) at the Glen site, and practices within the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Emergency Medicine at the MUHC.
Dr. Dubrovsky's research primarily focuses on pediatric emergency medicine with special emphasis on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) applications for children in emergency settings. His work explores how POCUS can improve pediatric emergency care by providing clinicians with rapid, radiation-free diagnostic capabilities. His research also extends to patient safety initiatives, organizational capacity building for health system improvements, and management of post-traumatic headaches and concussions in children.
Dr. Dubrovsky collaborates closely with Pediatric Emergency Research Canada (PERC) and has published extensively on topics including pediatric concussion management, point-of-care ultrasound applications, headache treatment in children, and patient safety culture. His research employs mixed-methods approaches to drive transformative changes in healthcare safety culture, with particular attention to inter-professional communication and patient/family-centered care.
- Point-of-Care Ultrasound: Investigating ultrasound applications for pediatric emergency procedures and diagnosis
- Pediatric Concussion: Studying post-concussion symptoms, management strategies, and long-term outcomes
- Patient Safety: Developing organizational capacity for safety improvements in healthcare settings
- Headache Management: Researching treatments for pediatric post-traumatic headaches
Dr. Dubrovsky's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on translating research into practical clinical applications that improve pediatric emergency care. His recent work has particularly emphasized lung ultrasound applications for children with respiratory conditions and comprehensive approaches to managing pediatric concussion.
Dr. Dubrovsky is recognized as a physician champion for patient safety and employs a mutual learning mindset to lead organizational changes that enhance safety culture in healthcare settings.
