Lindsay Fleming

Lindsay, a Forum/CHEPA fellow, is in her fourth year of the B.H.Sc. (Hons) program at McMaster University with a minor in French. Under the supervision of John Lavis, Lindsay assisted in the development of the framework for the Forum's exciting simulations course, which will be offered to fourth year students in the winter of 2010. She has completed an internship at the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, working in the Research Unit of the Health Systems Planning and Research Branch. As an intern, she worked on developing a comprehensive contact database of the ministry's major stakeholders, which will allow policymakers to retrieve information about Canadian researchers' areas of expertise. Once completed, this database will encourage and further enable evidence-supported policymaking. Lindsay is hoping to pursue international health and governance in her future educational endeavours.
