Biography
Dr. Anderson is a hematologist, professor of medicine, and as of July 1, 2015, he became dean of the Faculty of Medicine. His clinical interests are the care of patients with hematological disorders, particularly those with blood clotting problems.
Research interests
Dr. Anderson is a member of VECTOR (VEnous thromboembolic Clinical Trials and Outcomes Research), a national research group that focuses on patients with thromboembolic disorders. He also participates in a Maritime-based clinical research initiative that focuses on patient-oriented research.
"Equally safe"
A Halifax-based, cross-Canada study proves Aspirin is as effective as rivaroxaban in preventing blood clots after hip and knee replacement surgery.
The drugs are “equally safe,” says Dr. Anderson, but rivaroxaban costs dollars a day and Aspirin, pennies. “This really does help the patients and the overall health care system as a more affordable and equally safe and effective means of preventing blood clots.”
