Dempsey Wilford

Dempsey Wilford recently completed his master's degree in political science at the University of Victoria. His thesis explored the politics of silence between medical professionals and patients after a medical error occurs, and advocated for apology as a just, ethical, and healing response to medical errors. Currently, Dempsey is a research assistant on a project funded by the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research that explores the impact of apology from the perspective of patients.
