McMaster Health Forum | Our People

The Forum brings together a talented and diverse group of staff, collaborators, students and others committed to improving health outcomes through collective problem-solving. Connect with us by emailing forum@mcmaster.ca or find our personal contact information in our profiles.

Core team

The Forum supports health-system leaders and citizens around the world who want to use the best available research evidence to strengthen health systems and get the right programs, services and drugs to those who need them. Now with Forum+ we’ll be doing this in the area of social systems as well. Our core team leads and supports this work.

ForumLab team

The ForumLab undertakes cutting edge research and research synthesis about how to support the use of research evidence in health systems, and it trains students and researchers to undertake such work. In addition to members of the Forum’s core team, the ForumLab team includes many collaborating investigators and talented students.
