Logan Lawrence is a PhD candidate in Dalhousie University’s PhD Health program. Although he received a BSc in Kinesiology from the University of Alberta, he followed his interests to Dalhousie in order to work with national experts in a supportive environment with strong ties to the health system. His research interests are in the field of Health Systems and Policy Research, and focus on how we can strengthen our health system through knowledge mobilization, evidence-informed decision making, and enhanced policy capacity. His doctoral research combines elements from health services research, political science, and knowledge translation to adapt and test a framework for health policy success. He plans to continue working in Nova Scotia's health system, helping to prioritize and answer health policy questions by balancing scientific rigour and the needs of policy makers.
