Professor Geoff Cundiff, honorary "Sister", worked in the United States for many years before emigrating to Canada to work at the University of British Columbia. Together we tackle the burning question: Is Canadian healthcare "healthier" than healthcare in the United States? Comparing and contrasting the health systems and the Obstetrician/Gynecologist physician education and training processes, Geoff and Lauri explore the much-welcomed shift in health systems research to include the perspective of the patients in measures of success and failure. If "we treasure what we measure", which do we care more about - the patients or the profits?
