Patricia Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, with a focus on health services research and epidemiology. She is also a Scientist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and holds a position in the Child Health and Human Development Program at the Center for Evaluative Research in Health. Her work emphasizes primary care, health equity, and knowledge translation, particularly in improving pediatric health outcomes through population-based studies.
Patricia Li's research leverages administrative health databases, clinical cohorts, and patient engagement to address systemic gaps in care. She co-created the Montreal site of TARGet Kids!, Canada's largest primary care research network, which serves as a platform for clinical trials. Her methodologies integrate innovative trial designs, qualitative analysis, and partnerships with healthcare policymakers and clinicians.
Her recent publications span organizational behavior topics such as authenticity, leadership, and code-switching, alongside health-focused studies on asthma management and health equity. While her health research directly ties to her academic role, the organizational behavior publications suggest interdisciplinary collaborations or dual research interests. Her work consistently bridges empirical findings with actionable clinical and policy recommendations.
Key grants include funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS). She actively engages with knowledge users to influence guidelines and practices in early childhood health interventions.
