Malcolm Hartman

At the time of the Forum Fellowship and QE Scholarship, Malcolm was an undergraduate student in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program at McMaster University. As a recipient of the Forum Fellowship, Malcolm contributed to initiatives including synthesizing evidence for evidence briefs and rapid responses, evaluation of the citizen panel program, and co-chairing the Student Leadership Team.

As an outbound Queen Elizabeth Scholar, Malcolm travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa to intern at the Africa Centre for Evidence. Malcolm’s research focused on the implementation of national health insurance and strategies to improve evidence informed decision-making. Malcolm was thrilled to work with the Centre and through this work he hoped to further his understanding of how research evidence is translated to policy decisions.
