Krista Baerg

Dr. Krista Baerg is a Professor in the Department of General Pediatrics at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine, located at the Pediatric Outpatient Department of Royal University Hospital. Her research focuses on advancing pediatric care through four key areas: General Pediatrics, Pediatric Pain Management, Patient and Family-Centered Care, and Interprofessional Collaboration.

Her investigations explore innovative approaches to medical education, particularly in implementing patient-centered methodologies during undergraduate training. Research examines family dynamics in chronic illness management, especially during public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies also investigate epidemiological patterns of pediatric conditions including complex regional pain syndrome and inflammatory multisystem syndromes.

Analyses of recent publications reveal strong emphasis on healthcare delivery optimization, pandemic impacts on pediatric populations, and interdisciplinary care models. Work frequently incorporates family-centered frameworks while addressing clinical challenges through evidence-based solutions.
