Clinical Practice Guidelines Institute – Save the date!

The Centre for Effective Practice announces an upcoming Clinical Practice Guidelines Institute (CPGI), scheduled to take place at the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto, on April 24–25, 2010. The CPGI is intended for those individuals and organizations currently engaged in developing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in Canada who wish to expand their knowledge of guideline development methods and standards and link with others involved in the process of guideline development.

This 2-day participatory workshop is designed to close the knowledge-to-practice gap by equipping clinicians with the capacity and skills needed to produce, share, promote and evaluate evidence-based guidelines. Participants will share issues they have encountered in guideline development, receive brief targeted teaching and actively participate in a mock guideline development exercise guided by Canadian faculty experienced in guideline research, teaching and development.

Registration opens January 2010.
