Thrilled to host our Khon Kaen University, Thailand partners! They visited to learn the Canadian Health System & strengthen our collaborative community-based primary care research in Thailand. Highlights: McMaster Campus, Idlewyld Manor LTC tour, and a resident’s 105th birthday!
In June, the Learning Health Hub virtual symposium, co-founded by Drs. @MarissaGBird, Shelley Vanderhout & @CarlyWhitmore and supported by #IHSPR, featured sessions on key challenges & innovation in #LHS.

Just completed the 12-week Indigenous Canada course through UofA. I only had a surface-level awareness of many of the topics covered and this really added a lot of depth to my understanding - I highly recommend it!

Had a wonderful time at #CHSPR2023 yesterday, sharing some work I've been doing with @RickFerron and @GinaAgarwall as part of my #CIHR_ImpactFellows postdoc. Pleasantly surprised with how many attendees were already aware of community paramedicine!
Had an amazing first day at the national retreat with my #CIHR_ImpactFellows colleagues! The thoughtful engagement and contributions during my case study presentation were inspiring and I look forward to day two!

Public solutions to reduce surgical wait times:
1. Create centralized waitlists for next available surgeon
2. Extend OR times to evenings/weekends by hiring more staff
Why didn't the Ontario government exhaust these options first…before investing in for-profit healthcare?
I'm teaching an evaluation course
@UBC and am looking for community agencies interested in having a team of graduate students develop an #evaluation plan for a program in your organization. Interested? Let me know! #EvalTwitter
