Grace’s FLEX projects: Grace has been working under Dr. Lima since her 1st year of medical school. Thus far, she has been involved in two projects. She currently is collaborating on two projects with the team. The first explores the association between multimorbidity and mortality across health regions in BC among people living with HIV.

For the microsimulation model, she completed an extensive literature review looking at the associations between chronic diseases.
