Since joining the University of British Columbia, Dr. Lynd has been the Associate Director of the Collaboration of Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE) – website: www.core.ubc.ca. The mission of CORE is to improve health-related outcomes to drug therapy through the application of the best in research, education, and practice enhancement strategies. This involves collaboration with other outcomes researchers, professional organizations, and policy makers.
Our mandate has been to develop CORE in terms of both research and training in pharmaceutical outcomes. In this regard, over the past six years we have hired a core group of epidemiologists, health economists, and statisticians, have recruited and successfully trained many graduate students, and acquired the computer resources to undertake sophisticated modeling and analysis. We have also established collaborative associations with other key stakeholders including the BC College of Pharmacists, BC Pharmacy Association, BC Ministry of Health, and BC Pharmacare, and we collaborate both nationally and internationally. In addition to training graduate students in outcomes research, we have developed the first undergraduate course in pharmacoeconomics and health technology assessment with the objective of training clinicians in critical thinking, understanding health care and policy decision making, and incorporating evidence into clinical practice.
