Dr. Stirling Bryan is a health economist who has had extensive engagement with the policy and decision-making world.
His research track record reveals a long-standing goal of informing policy and practice, demonstrated, in part, through an extensive involvement with the UK National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE). In 2005 he was awarded a Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellowship and spent one year at Stanford University, researching technology coverage decision making in US health care.
He emigrated to Canada in 2008 and continues a focus on policy-relevant research. He served for 6 years as chair for CADTH’s Health Technology Expert Review Panel, and his ongoing UBC faculty position, sponsored by Vancouver Coastal Health, sees him working alongside policy colleagues in one of BC’s largest regional health authorities.
