A community made whole by its many moving parts.

Our alumni community is a diverse network of clinicians, health system leaders, administrators, and researchers that span across health systems in Canada and around the world. As valued members of our community, alumni are well connected to IHPME through mentorship, speaking events, and supporting education and research.

Jennifer Mary Bell and Taylor Martin co-chair the Dean’s Alumni Advisory Council.  The Council meets three times annually and comprises a mix of alumni from across DLSPH’s programs (both PHS and IHPME) and focuses on alumni events, awards, mentorship and other special projects.
