Health Technology Assessment

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a multi-disciplinary process for supporting evidence-based decision making about health technologies by considering medical, economic, social, ethical and other relevant aspects. Health technology refers to equipment, drugs or procedures used by health care professionals. Between 2004-2019 I was a part of the Technology Assessment Unit of the McGill University Health Centre. As a Biostatistician, I have also contributed to the meta-analysis portion of many systematic reviews, including some published by the Cochrane Collaboration.
