Karolina pursued her MPH at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto. Her work with ICHR focused on the development of a perinatal surveillance system for the NWT. Through the summer and fall of 2008, she coordinated a series of multi-stakeholder discussions with the Fort Smith Health and Social Services Authority Midwifery Program around the optimal database design for such a system. Her efforts were funded by PHAC and the CIHR Team in Circumpolar Health.
