We are seeking 1 health care practitioner member and 1 patient member to serve on our Health Technology Expert Review Panel (HTERP). HTERP is an advisory body that develops guidance and recommendations for our projects related to health technologies, including medical devices, diagnostic tests, and clinical interventions. It provides guidance that considers the outputs and impact of our work in meeting the needs of federal, provincial, and territorial governments, and those working in the health care systems in Canada.
If you have significant experience working in the health care systems in Canada, are interested in helping support health care decision-makers in making informed choices about health technologies, and are passionate about ensuring that the health care systems in Canada are the best they can be, we encourage you to apply. We seek to maintain expert and advisory committees composed of talented and dedicated individuals with diverse perspectives, skills, and backgrounds, and recognize that experience may be gained through a combination of activities, including but not limited to employment, volunteering, community engagement, and advocacy work.
The following information may help when considering whether to let your name stand for nomination to HTERP.
