Professor M. Judith Lynam

Professor Judith Lynam is a Professor

Emeritus at the University of British

Columbia, in Vancouver Canada. She

studied at McGill (BScN), UBC, (MSN) &

King’s College London (PhD).

An overall goal of Dr. Lynam’s

programme of research has been to

enrich the discourses of inequities in

health and to explicate approaches that

improve population health outcomes.

A central concern of her work has been to understand issues nurses encounter in practice. Most recently, she has been focussed on the design and evaluation an innovative community based social pediatrics initiative that has fostered access to care and integrated services along the continuum from prevention to specialized services and improved health outcomes for some of Canada’s most vulnerable children and families. She has worked with teams of educators, practitioners and policy makers who share the goal of responding to adversities and improving inequities in countries throughout the world.
