Dr. Stiell's research group is a team of diverse individuals with various backgrounds and skill sets that facilitate practice changing research for both pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency medicine settings. As a part of the Emergency Medicine Research Group led by Dr. Stiell himself, his research projects are conducted within the most active and productive emergency medicine research program in Canada. Dr. Stiell's current research focus has been on developing clinical decision rules and on clinical trials involving acutely ill patients treated by pre-hospital services and emergency departments. Past research includes internationally recognized clinical decision rules, and a focus on pre-hospital care for cardiac arrest and trauma victims. Additionally, as 1 of 3 founding Canadian sites in the Canadian Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (CanROC), the team will directly participate in CanROC's various future multi-centre, multi-year emergency health services research projects.
