The department analyses and interprets the data to generate knowledge that supports the activities and knowledge translation of the Safe Medical Care Learning department. The SMC Research department also responds to internal and external requests for data analysis. The department studies historical data to identify individual provider, team and system factors associated with medical-legal risk, researches trends, and evaluates the performance and impact of education programs. The department synthesizes evidence and disseminates its research findings by authoring reports, risk management and educational materials in collaboration with CMPA’s physician advisors, general legal counsel, and the Communications department.

**POSITION OVERVIEW**

The Health Services Researcher is an integral part of the Evidence Synthesis Unit’s (ESU) research activities, collaboratively planning, executing, conducting and reporting novel research that supports Safe Medical Care in Canada. As part of a multidisciplinary team, the incumbent works closely with ESU and SMC Research team members, as well as other collaborators and stakeholders, both internal and external to the CMPA. The Health Services Researcher functions in a lead role: (i) collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders - both within and outside of the CMPA - to collect, synthesize and interpret data using rigorous qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches, and; (ii) translating evidence as part of a team that generates, disseminates and provides knowledge products and services, including research abstracts, reports, presentations and manuscripts for audiences within and outside of the CMPA.

Under the supervision of the ESU Manager, the Health Services Researcher ensures health evidence is produced and reported using methodological rigour, accuracy, timeliness and relevance to both CMPA members and the broader healthcare community - key factors in maintaining the CMPA’s status as a leader in advancing Safe Medical Care.
