Teaching
I teach health professionals to make better-informed decisions using evidence. Most of my students will become managers, analysts, clinicians, and executives rather than researchers. Accordingly, I focus on helping them ask the right questions of data, critically interpret the answers, and communicate their findings clearly to the people responsible for making decisions.
Value and Quality in Healthcare (MHIA 6160)
A graduate course I designed for the Master of Health Industry Administration program at the Schulich School of Business, York University, first offered in Winter 2027. Each module examines value and quality from both public-system and industry perspectives. Students develop data literacy through guided R laboratories, and the course concludes with a simulation capstone in which teams respond to a simulated epidemic and present their strategies to a mock national cabinet.
