The Glossary contains short definitions of important terms found in MCHP reports and publications.  It facilitates navigation through the research terms and abbreviations found within the Concept Dictionary, making the Concept Dictionary accessible to a wider audience. Each entry also includes hyperlinks to other related glossary terms, concepts, research/medical definitions, and references for key reports or papers.

Students and website visitors who are not very familiar with health services and population-based research find this resource particularly helpful during their visit and as they read Centre publications. A recent count identified over 1000 Glossary entries.
