Join CADTH on March 5th, 2020, for our second lecture of the year with Dr. Lauren Cipriano. Dr. Cipriano was the 2018 winner of CADTH’s Dr. Maurice McGregor Award for Health Technology Assessment. Registration for her lecture, Cost-Effectiveness of Naloxone Kits in Canadian High Schools and Community Centre Settings, is now open.
Save the date on March 16th for a webinar entitled Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Chronic Non-Cancer Pain: Acupuncture. Because of the prevalence and burden of chronic pain, and the associated opioid crisis in our country, health professionals are looking for non-pharmacological treatment options to recommend to their patients. Stay tuned for more information.
