Workshops and Educational Opportunities
Workshops
In addition to www.health-evidence.ca, Health Evidence offers a series of workshops addressing the ‘How To’ of Evidence-Informed Decision Making (EIDM) to support public health practitioners and their organizations. Workshops are available in a standard format, or can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your team/organization to build on individual and organizational capacity for EIDM. Some potential topics include: EIDM 101: Conducting an Efficient Search for Evidence, Critical Appraisal, and Interpretation of Research Findings. For more information please contact us.

The Skills Enhancement for Public Health modules are offered through the Internet to public health practitioners across Canada. This continuing education opportunity helps public health practitioners to strengthen their knowledge and skills to help meet the core competencies for public health, thereby improving public health practice.
After successful completion of each module, learners are recognized with a certificate of successful completion from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Internet-based modules are offered over an 8-week period during Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions. Modules are available in both English and French to public health practitioners across Canada. Interdisciplinary teams of learners from across the country are guided through the Canadian-focused content and assignments by a trained facilitator, and are connected through discussion boards. Each module is relevant and specific to Canadian public health practice.

This three-day workshop involves a combination of plenaries, small groups sessions lead by experts in their topic area, and a fun, interactive session reinforcing key concepts learned during the workshop. Evidence-based practice involves applying evidence to clinical and policy decision making. Critical appraisal provides the tools to assess the quality of evidence in the medical literature and to determine the risks and benefits of different management strategies. Through this trans-disciplinary workshop you will work through relevant examples in order to develop skills in searching for and identifying appropriate evidence, critically appraising the evidence, and applying the evidence to your area of expertise.

The Ontario Hospital Association’s (OHA) Interprofessional Care Conference (IPC) will explore developments that have been made within the scope of collaborative care for patients, as well as data illustrating the progress that these initiatives have made in patient centred care. Attendees will be engaged with stimulating dialogue on successful IPC implementation, from policy to practice level.
Join this conference to learn more about the new Interprofessional Collaboration Project. The Federation of Health Regulatory Colleges (FHRCO) initiated a collaborative project with member Colleges to create a decision-making tool for point of care. The tool enables clinical teams to establish optimized roles, responsibilities, and services to fulfill patient needs through the clarification of practice expectations, shared across team members.
The purpose of this tool is to enable any health professional who is on a clinical team to optimize the benefits of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) while enhancing safe, effective, efficient quality care. It has been founded in the fundamental expectations for professional practice and interprofessional care – competence, authority, evolution, collaboration and accountability – and can be used by interprofessional teams across the full range of practice settings.
Conference participants will:
• Learn how IPC has improved access to care in organizations
• Learn how to facilitate IPC dialogue with practical tools, strategies and simulations
• Gain knowledge of IPC models from various disciplines from across the country

For those working in small cities and towns, rural, remote and isolated areas.
More than a conference ...'GATHERING'
Much like a conference there will be presentations, workshops and forums, but based on some advice from our advisor Little Brown Bear of Midland, ON, this will be a gathering of caring, active folks and be the beginning of an ongoing conversation. There will be much conversing, sharing and connecting. And we will keep the conversation going after this gathering in ways chosen during the event.
The fledging National Rural Harm Reduction Network will be holding meetings during the event to gather direction and support from you. There will be a place for online input before the event as well.
Bonjour! We are accepting ideas for French language presentations and workshops. Such workshops will be provided in French only or possibly English and French. We will not be offering spontaneuous translation.

Qualitative research is now a legitimate research enterprise in health research. Qualitative research plays an important role in much deductively driven health research, such as clinical trials, as awareness that experiential perspectives is a core dimension of investigating the effectiveness of health-related interventions. However, many qualitative researchers appear to remain content restricting their analysis to description or interpretation. In an environment that is driven largely by demands for demonstrable and effective outcomes, qualitative health research is at a critical junction. How can qualitative researchers find ways to conduct research on experience that can lead to changes in health care practice, policy and education? What new or alternative ways of conducting research on experience are required? What research collaborations are fundamental to the success of these new directions?
