Masters of Health Studies Artefacts
This page contains key projects that I've completed throughout my degree at Athabasca University while enrolled in the Masters of Health Studies program. These assignments will align with my goal to research eConsults and their impact on our healthcare system. In my most recent course I will be exploring how health promotion strategies can improve continuity of care and equitable access in these settings.
Logic Model for Community Engagement Strategy to Improve Access to Specialist Care for Indigenous Children
This logic model outlines key determinants influencing ear and hearing health outcomes among Indigenous children in rural and remote communities, alongside corresponding health promotion strategies and expected outcomes to guide a community-engaged intervention.

Situational Assessment: Ear and Hearing Health in Indigenous Communities
This artefact summarizes a situational assessment exploring ear and hearing health inequities in Indigenous communities. Building on prior coursework, it shifts the focus from health outcomes to the broader systems and conditions shaping access to care and highlights potential actions to support culturally safe, community-led approaches.

Community Engagement Approaches of the First Nations Health Authority
This summary explores the community engagement framework used by the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), highlighting key principles such as cultural safety, self-determination, and reciprocal partnership. It reflects my analysis of how health promotion initiatives must honour Indigenous worldviews and prioritize community-led decision-making.

Closing the Hearing Gap in Rural Alberta - Infographic
Hearing loss disproportionately affects Indigenous and rural communities, yet access to timely ENT care remains limited. This infographic highlights the significant hearing gap in rural Alberta and demonstrates how eConsult ENT pathways can reduce travel, improve early detection, and empower local providers to deliver culturally safe, community-based care.

Unlearning to Relearn: Challenging Biases for Equitable Healthcare Innovation
In this presentation, I introduce the Diffusion of Innovations Theory as a way to understand how new healthcare tools, like eConsults, can gain traction across systems and communities. I connect this theory to my ongoing work in promoting equitable, community-driven digital health solutions for rural and Indigenous populations, where access and trust remain vital to improving care.
