Tufts University CTSI Hosts Comparative Effectiveness in Practice: An Evidence-based and Value-based Medicine Approach
June 25-26, 2009
Tufts CTSI
Boston, MA

The Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes funding to conduct comparative effectiveness research of medical interventions. It signals a new era in which this information will play an increasing important role in medical, healthcare reimbursement and health policy decision making. Evidence-based medicine and value-based medicine are two essential components of comparative effectiveness research. This 2-day course aims to provide participants with knowledge and hands-on experience in the nuts and bolts of the methods employed in these practices.

Course directors: Joseph Lau, MD, Professor, Center for Clinical Evidence Synthesis and Peter Neumann, ScD, Professor, Center for Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health, Tufts Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies, Tufts Medical Center and Tufts CTSI.
