Anne Mullin, PhD, MBA

The Canadian College of Health Leaders is pleased to announce that Anne Mullin, PhD, MBA, has been named the recipient of the 2022 Healthcare Management Forum Article of the Year Award for her article entitled “Inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility: From organizational responsibility to leadership competency”. Dr. Mullin is a Principal at Shift Health, a strategy consulting firm for the health research and innovation ecosystem.


In her article, Dr. Mullin and her co-authors have captured the essence of what is necessary to meet the challenges of anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, and harmful colonial structures while in the midst of a pandemic crisis response. This article stands out because it provides practical recommendations for health leaders that can be used to change traditional governance, mentorship, and performance management programs. The end result allows leaders to attract better talent and create a more progressive, inclusive culture.
