Our work spans from high-level epidemiological modeling to the ethical foundations of primary care practice. Below are our core active research lines and selected publications.

Acosta-Batista, C. (2025). "Beyond clinical skills: assessing prudent ethical competence for underserved populations." Canadian Medical Education Journal. [Published ahead of issue]. doi: 10.36834/cmej.82718.

• Summary: A critical analysis challenging traditional competency metrics. Using a Bayesian framework, we identified a measurable disconnect between theoretical ethical knowledge and prudent clinical performance in primary care trainees. We propose "prudent ethical competence" as a vital metric for ensuring readiness in underserved settings.
