Jason Sutherland, Assistant Professor in the School of Population and Public Health, has been named as the Canadian Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice.

Dr. Sutherland will be working with leading U.S. policy makers, governments and researchers investigating incentives for improving coordination of care between settings and reducing the amount of ineffective and inappropriate care.
