We actively influence health system public policy

The Royal College’s health policy directorate converts medical education research, analysis and policy formulation into action, advocacy and thought leadership. Our directorate verifies mountains of facts and sifts through copious information so that we can take on advocacy roles with confidence and conviction.

Specifically, we enable and advocate for the provision of high quality health care and better health for all Canadians by

  • Advancing scholarship in strategic areas such as human resources for health, high quality health care, and patient safety
  • Helping to inform and influence health and public policy through research, analysis, strategic communications and government relations
  • Advocating for aboriginal health
  • Identifying trends and responding to emerging issues on behalf of the Royal College
  • Collaborating with other organizations and government on key projects and initiatives
