Lindsay Fleming

At the time of the Forum Fellowship, Lindsay was in her fourth year of the B.H.Sc. (Hons) program at McMaster University with a minor in French. Under the supervision of Dr. John Lavis, Lindsay assisted in the development of the framework for the Forum's simulations course, which was offered to fourth year students in the winter of 2010. She also 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 would allow policymakers to retrieve information about Canadian researchers' areas of expertise. The expectation is that this database should encourage and further enable evidence-supported policymaking. Lindsay was hoping to pursue international health and governance in her future educational endeavours.
