Engineering techniques can be used to eliminate inefficiencies in Canada's health care system, as the work by a new Toronto research centre shows. In the modern race to innovate, the health care industry is lagging decades behind manufacturing and other service industries. Michael Carter is ready to launch a game of catch-up.

The Bonder Scholarship for Applied Operations Research in Health Services

The Health Applications Section of INFORMS invites applications from qualified doctoral candidates for the Applied Operations Research in Health Services.

About the Centre

An initiative of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto, the Centre for Research in Healthcare Engineering (CRHE) is a response to the immediate and compelling desire for efficiency and quality improvements in the Canadian health care system. The Centre will provide both theoretical and practical advice and support for many of today's most pressing problems. CRHE research is focused on the application of Industrial/Systems Engineering techniques in relation to demand and capacity modelling and resource allocation issues in the health care industry. Our goals include creating quantitative decision support tools to help policy makers and industry leaders make better informed decisions. Learn more about us.
