It is my strong belief that research and education in the areas of health care policy and health care systems are important means of ensuring that the health needs of communities are met, and also vehicles for achieving social change. Through novel curriculum design, implementation and dissemination, I have worked to increase understanding of healthcare system issues in the Canadian medical community in hopes of achieving that higher goal. I have worked as an advocate for the preservation and improvement of public health care in Canada for over a decade and more recently in the United States. I am also an actively practicing family doctor and hospital administrator.
