Dr. Colleen Flood about "Wait Times in Canada"

On November 26th and 27th, 2007, health care and policy experts from across the country were invited to help write the prescription for managing wait times for health care at the Wait Times in Canada conference, co-hosted by Kingston General Hospital and Queen's University.

At the conference, someone from InsiderMedicine had a chance to speak to Dr. Colleen Flood. Dr. Flood is Scientific Director of CIHR's Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (CIHR-IHSPR).

She is also a former Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto and a Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy. She completed her Master of Laws (LL.M.) in 1994 and her Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) in 1998 at the University of Toronto.

Her areas of research interest include comparative health care policy, public/private financing of health care systems, health care reform, and accountability and governance issues. She was the 1999 Labelle Lecturer in Health Services Research and was appointed a Senior Fellow of Massey College in 2004 and in 2006 on to the Corporation of Massey College.
