The First annual CMTP Comparative Effectiveness Research Institute was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, July 25-27, 2011. The CER Institute provided participants with an in-depth understanding of CER approaches and methodologies, and enabled them to apply or evaluate a broad range of CER tools within their own professional context. Through case studies and interactive group discussions, students learned from top experts in the field. The Institute exposed participants to important methodological issues that arise when conducting CER, introduced emerging policy trends and ensure that participants understand effective methods for translating the results from CER studies into policy.
The Institute featured eight courses taught by leading experts in the field of CER and three plenary sessions, each featuring a key note speaker and a series of panelists. The CER Institute was organized by CMTP and co-sponsored by AcademyHealth.
The 2011 CER Institute is funded by CMTP and tuition fees. Email info@cmtpnet.org to receive information on the 2012 CER Institute.
