Important update from the SPOR Evidence Alliance ⬇️

This week I had the opportunity to complete a week-long workshop on advanced methods for economic evaluation with health equity and person-level data at Unity Health Toronto. As my doctoral thesis will explore the intersection of public health and health economics, I’m excited to apply the methods covered in this workshop. A big thank you to Wanrudee Isaranuwatchai and Beverley Essue for hosting such a thoughtful and practical workshop (and for all the Thai snacks!)
