Kelcey Bland

Dr. Kelcey Bland is a clinical exercise physiologist and postdoctoral research fellow in the Clinical Exercise Physiology Lab at the University of British Columbia and the BC Cancer Research Institute under the supervision of Dr. Kristin Campbell and Dr. Helen McTaggart-Cowan. Kelcey completed her MSc (2017) and PhD (2023) in exercise oncology and has studied the effects of cancer rehabilitation for people living with cancer from diagnosis to survivorship and end-of-life.

Kelcey’s postdoctoral work will use mixed research methods to continue exploring the role of cancer rehabilitation in the advanced cancer setting, including identifying strategies to facilitate knowledge translation and the implementation of cancer rehabilitation into current cancer care. Long-term, Kelcey plans to dedicate her career to designing, evaluating, and implementing high-quality, accessible, and inclusive cancer rehabilitation through ongoing collaboration with multidisciplinary clinical and research teams, and patient and family partners.
