Dr. Stinson’s clinical work focuses on working with children and youth with chronic pain and their families as part of an interdisciplinary pain team in the Department of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine at SickKids. Her major clinical research interests are in the area of pain and symptom management and the use of e-health (internet) and m-health (mobile phones) technologies to improve the assessment and management of pain and other symptoms in children with chronic illnesses. She is also interested in developing and evaluating novel interprofessional pediatric pain curricula for health care professionals.
Dr. Stinson is currently funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research, National Institutes of Health, The Canadian Arthritis Network, C17 Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders, and Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO).

In recognition of her important work in the area of pain, disease self-management and e-health, Dr. Stinson has received a Career Scientist Award from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (2009-2011) and a Canadian Arthritis Network Investigator Award (2011-2013). She recently received the top new investigator award in Canada – The Peter Lougheed CIHR New Investigator Award (2013-2018) for her research on using e-health and m-health to promote chronic disease self-management in youth with painful chronic and life-threatening health conditions. She also received the Canadian Pain Society Early Career Award in May 2012.
