Still committed to teaching, Dr. Sinclair continues to provide guest lectures for the EPID 803 course.
In recognition of Dr. Sinclair's contribution to the MRC, and reflective of his interest in health policy, Dr. Henry Friesen, President of the Medical Research Council of Canada, announced the establishment of the Dr. Duncan G. Sinclair Lectureship in Health Services and Policy Research at 成人大片 in 1997. The inaugural lecture, held in 1999, featured guest speaker Dr. David Naylor, Dean of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Dr. Naylor spoke on "Canadian Health Care: The Troubled Transition." In recognition of the importance of this realm of health research in Canada, Duncan and Leona Sinclair assured the longevity of the Lectureship by a generous supplement to the capital fund in 2001.
