2022 MacHSR Future Leaders Cohort
This group of front-line clinicians used Health Services Research (HSR) to solve practical care-delivery problems impacting their health services.
Throughout the 12-month program each Fellow was released from clinical duties for one day per week to upskill in HSR through mentorship and formal training, while also working on their own research project. The cohort included clinicians from a range of disciplines across nine MACH-affiliated health services.
