March has proven to be a busy month for IC3RG members. Thesis and proposal defences, conference presentations, and panel discussions were just a few of the highlights so far this March, and the month isn't over yet!

On March 2nd, 2018, Alysia Robinson successfully defended her thesis proposal, entitled,ÌýCommunity Variation in Hospital Length of Stay: an Indicator of Community Care Integration.

Two weeks later on March 14th, Mike Reid followed by successfully defending his masters thesis, entitled, Small Area Rate Variation in Unplanned Repeat Hospitalization in Nova Scotia.

Both Mike and Alysia, whose research use innovative methodologies to help understand patterns of healthcare use in Nova Scotia and work towards improving the healthcare system are part of the department of Community Health and Epidemiology.
