Hannah Thomas
Ph.D. Student in Health Policy, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am a resident in urologic surgery at the University of Toronto, currently pursuing my PhD in Health Policy (Decision Sciences) at Stanford University as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. I previously completed a Masters in Global Health Sciences from UCSF.
I am passionate about leveraging data to guide evidence-based health policy, both domestically and globally. My doctoral thesis uses mathematical modelling to address critical disparities between the burden of disease and the urologic workforce- seeking to provide actionable insights for workforce planning and development in resource-constrained healthcare systems.
I serve on the Board of Trustees for the International Student Surgical Network. -
