IHSPR Policy Rounds

What are the IHSPR Policy Rounds?

CIHR's Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) Policy Rounds are webinars that disseminate research results and foster knowledge exchange among researchers, health care policy and decision makers, and other stakeholders. IHSPR Policy Rounds showcase current research evidence on high priority topics and promote evidence-informed decision making. Through IHSPR Policy Rounds we hope to spark opportunities to identify and address knowledge gaps and foster collaboration.

Who should participate in IHSPR Policy Rounds?

Each Policy Round engages policy and decision makers, researchers and other stakeholders to share knowledge on health services and policy related research.

Stay tuned for future IHSPR Policy Rounds focusing on:

  • Genetic Testing
  • Physician Leadership
  • Appropriateness of Care
