The MHSc
Health Administration Program Makes the News
On June 11, 2001, the Globe and Mail featured the MHSc
Health Administration Program in its special supplement on Health Careers. The article entitled “U of T Program Spawns
Leaders” focused on the program’s mission to develop leaders in health
management and policy and its unique delivery format.
“ During a time when the delivery of health care is becoming
increasingly complex and sophisticated, the men and women given the job of managing the
system must have the tools, the skills and the education to lead... the whole idea of the
program is to create leaders in the field.”
Don
Redelmeier and Robert Tibshirani’s 1997 Study Makes the News
On
May 29, 2001 the Globe and Mail headline read, “Outlaw Use of Phones by Drivers, MDs
Urge”. Among those cited was our own Dr.
Donald Redelmeier who said, “banning the use of cell phones while driving is probably
justified and more cost-effective than generally realized and especially attractive if
emergency calls are allowed.” Don stated
that other countries have been able to bring in rules that are acceptable to drivers,
possible to enforce and followed as frequently as seat-belt laws. Donald Redelmeier and Robert Tibshirani’s
research study can be found in the New England Journal of Medicine, 1997.
