Welcome to a World-class Research Endeavor. |
|---|
School of Health Administration is a centre of excellence for health services and policy research dedicated to advancing health and health equity: we count two Canada Research Chairs and a Killam Scholar amongst our distinct teams. Their work reflects the exceptionally high standards of our School’s contribution to the field, across Canada and around the world. As we continue to grow, we invite committed, talented researchers to explore these pages, and the opportunities we may have to offer them.
"Career research awards recognise the work of highest calibre, undertaken by leading scientists; work that makes a difference. Few Schools of our size can boast that they are home to three such outstanding researchers: two Canada Research Chairs and a Killam Research Chair. At SHA, we are hugely proud of the work we do to advance data driven health policy."
Dr Tanya Packer
Director, School of Health Administration
Our teams are also committed to the widest possible dissemination of their research, whether in the service of public health education, or evidence-led policy development. Our team leads are experienced, expert communicators with a genuine passion for their work: whether you are looking for support in institutional/governmental decision-making; expert input for broadcast, print or online media, or some cutting-edge expertise to fire your students’ enthusiasm, do not hesitate to get in touch.

The Causes and Realities of Health System Inequality |
|---|
We undertake thorough, evidence-led investigation of Health System inequality, in Canada and around the world.
We do so in service of policy development and practical action, leading to more equitable health systems for us all.

Advancing Public Understanding. Improving Outcomes for All. |

How Policy Shapes Health Outcomes |
|---|
We rigorously quantify the real-world effects of policy change, considering access to, and quality of, care.
Quantifying policy effects is challenging in the presence of contemporaneous trends and effect heterogeneity, but it is incredibly important to understand how policies shape health outcomes (and inequities).
