July 24, 2024
The publication Assessing the impact of Canadian primary care research and researchers (Dr. Monica Aggarwal, Dr Sabrina Wong, et al.) identified the 50 most cited primary care researchers in Canada by analyzing data from the Scopus database and assessing various parameters, including the number of publications and citations, research themes, Scopus h index, etc.
From a pool of 266 established Canadian primary care researchers, Dr. Annette Browne ranked in the top-twenty, was one of six researchers from UBC, and was the most highly-cited of three nurse researchers in a field dominated by mostly male clinician scientists (family medicine).
This recognition underscores Annette’s significant contributions to the field, particularly in advancing our understanding and improving the quality of primary healthcare in Canada. Annette's extensive publication record highlights her pioneering research at the intersection of primary health care and health equity. Her work has been instrumental in shedding light on the experiences of Indigenous peoples, with a special focus on Indigenous women, within the Canadian healthcare system.
Through her comprehensive studies and publications, Annette has been at the forefront of advocating for evidence-based strategies that aim to enhance healthcare equity. Her research has not only provided critical insights into the challenges faced by Indigenous communities in accessing quality healthcare but has also proposed actionable solutions to address these disparities.
We congratulate Annette on her remarkable contributions to the field of primary health care.
