I am a pediatrician in general pediatrics and pediatric infectious disease in CHU de Nantes. My topics of research concern the study of optimality of care (with a focus on time to diagnosis) applied to severe bacterial infection and physical child abuse in order to propose simple and efficient corrective action to improve care. I am also particularly interested in methodological issues related the study of suboptimal care and time to diagnosis.
