Does our narrow understanding of outcomes and impacts of embedded research training in Canada affect who benefits and which systems can realize the potential of learning health systems? We identify three areas for deeper analysis: outcomes and impacts at the individual, partnership, and system level, knowledge on the social identities and needs of individuals in embedded research partnerships, and research generalism as a complement to embedded research. Our recommendations suggest tailored approaches to strengthen the workforce capacity for equity-centered learning health systems in Canada.</span> Embedded Research Learning Health Systems Northern Ontario Health Equity https://www.ijhpm.com/article_4623_5411928f192f343d26fdebb1a400de63.pdf
