Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke is a strong advocate for advancing women’s health and a dedicated supporter of collaborating with interdisciplinary health care providers to implementing evidence to improve outcomes for maternal and newborn health. She has pursued this person centred goal both in clinical and in research settings. Throughout her career, Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke has advocated for better patient outcomes, both through her academic appointments and in leadership roles at Dalhousie University.

Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke is also a CIHR Embedded Clinical researcher at the IWK promoting interdisciplinary care for women that live with obesity during pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum. She has worked extensively in educational research, developing knowledge frameworks for interdisciplinary students so they can most effectively apply their skills and hone their evidence based interactions with patients, families, and caregivers. This work extends beyond maternal health into palliative care, surgical recovery procedures, and even community engagement issues.
