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 at Stanford University as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.
I am chiefly passionate about developing evidence & policy to support investment in safe, timely and affordable surgical care in low- and middle- income countries. I am specifically interested in using data to address critical infrastructure and policy gaps affecting patients with urologic disease. These include, but are not limited to, understanding global urologic disease burdens, building urology workforce capacity, and strengthening systems-level processes for safe urologic and surgical care.
In my spare time, I am driven by mentoring and supporting other women to pursue urology. I actively curate initiatives for women to access opportunities in our specialty, by serving on the Board of Directors for the Society of Women in Urology both in the US and Canada. -
