Md Mijanur Rahman

I am a research fellow at the Daffodil Centre, The University of Sydney and Cancer Council NSW. My primary research focus is cancer epidemiology and health service research, with a particular focus on disparities in survival outcomes of cancer patients, social determinants of health and health outcomes, health trajectories, patterns of care and health research use. He has a strong interest in the development and applications of statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate event history data. I completed PhD in Clinical Epidemiology and Medical Statistics from the University of Newcastle in 2020, following the completion of a Master of Science in Gerontology from the University of Southampton. I am also a COSA Survivorship Fellow 2023. Under this fellowship, I am currently coordinating and leading a project titled ‘Chronic disease GP Management (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangements (TCA)’ over the next year under the mentorship of Prof Gail Garvey (The University of Queensland) and A/P Nicolas Hart (University Technology Sydney). Using multiple linked administrative datasets, our project will identify GPMP and TCA item use, frequency and healthcare use post-cancer diagnosis for First Nations People and non-Indigenous Australians in Queensland.
