Biography
I am a Professor in the School of Rural and Northern Health and Director of the Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research (CRaNHR) (http://www.cranhr.ca/). CRaNHR is a centre focused on health systems research with interdisciplinary faculty investigators and research staff from disciplines including anthropology, epidemiology, gerontology, kinesiology, medicine, nursing, social work and sociology. I am PA on the provincially funded program of research titled Health Equity for Northern Ontarians: Applied Health Research with Vulnerable Populations that involves colleagues at Laurentian, Nipissing and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. CRaNHR is also a partner in the CIHR-MOHLTC Strategy for Patient Oriented Research, a collaboration between 12 other health research centres in Ontario. I am an applied medical anthropologist by training. My research concerns Aboriginal health and health care, both on and off reserve in Northeastern Ontario. I have experience in program design, community based training, evaluation, policy research, advocacy and cross cultural awareness training. With Kristen Jacklin (PA), Associate Professor, Human Sciences at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine I am involved with research concerning dementia in Indigenous populations as part of Team 20, Quality of Care, of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration and Aging.
