Dr. Hallet has been on staff at Sunnybrookâs Health Sciences Centre and an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto since 2014. Her surgical practice is devoted to hepato-biliary, pancreatic and upper gastrointestinal malignancies, with a clinical focus on minimally invasive and image-guided therapies, as well as neuroendocrine tumors as part of the Susan Leslie Multidisciplinary Clinic for Neuroendocrine Tumors.
As a surgeon investigator, her research focuses on health services population based research to examine processes, patterns of care, and outcomes of hepato-pancreato-biliary malignancies. In particular, Dr. Hallet is dedicated to improving care and outcomes of neuroendocrine tumors by identifying and implementing enablers to timely diagnosis and effective management. Throughout her research, she engages patient and caregiver advisors to ensure the results are important and meaningful. Dr. Hallet also engages knowledge translation researchers to examine gaps in patient care that cannot be examined using health services databases in order to understand and improve the quality of patient care.
Dr. Hallet has led several major grants examining patterns of care for treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. She has published many landmark papers in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, BMJ, JAMA, Cancer, and Annals of Surgery.
