I also volunteered Kathy. Are you applying to attend the Conference?

I have attended the last 4 or 5 years and find the conference very interesting. Before that I had not even noticed the area of Health Technology Assessment.

It's great to jump into new areas and learn.

I have much experience as an abstract and research reviewer: MOHLTC, HQO, CCO, CPQI, etc. I also worked in Aquatic Toxicology research for 8 years. I am offering to be an abstract reviewer for CADTH

[A Former User]

At the moment, I was just offering to review Abstracts. I know that task does not garner many applicants. Reviewing would be my intro into Health Tech Assessmet. Then I could consider suitability to become more involved and attend the Symposium

The CADTH applications are due on Dec 10.

I was accepted to be an abstract reviewer. I am finding it is almost more difficult than being a proposal reviewer. But fun,

[A Former User]

I also am reviewing abstracts, but they only sent me 2. That does not seem like much of a challenge.

How many did they send to you?

Annette

[A Former User]

9 (nine).

[A Former User]

I am a reviewer too. I did 8 Abstracts. Prefer having more detail to evaluate, but, enjoyed reading and providing input on the Abstracts too.

[A Former User]

I reviewed 7, but had originally been provided 8. I declared a conflict with that one. That’s really strange, Annette!
