Lindsay Hedden

I am an applied health services researcher leading a program of research is to inform the delivery of high-quality, accessible primary care with a particular focus on workforce policy and planning. I am currently an assistant professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University and past Scientific Director of Health Research BC. I've held two post-doctoral positions with the BC Ministry of Health and the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute. My research program has three main foci: primary care workforce policy and planning, interdisciplinary team-based care, and most recently the corporatization and protfitzation of health systems. In addition to my own local research team, I co-lead the Health Systems Research Lab, a distributed network of health services researchers that I leverage to support cross-provincial, multi-methods research.
