Have you wondered how drugs and other healthcare interventions become available for use in the Canadian healthcare system?  What factors go into these decisions and who's involved?  How does the Canadian process compare to similar processes around the globe? 

Dr Tammy Clifford is the Chief Scientist and Vice President, Evidence Standards at CADTH, a Canadian organization that assesses evidence on behalf of the health system, helping policy makers and practising clinicians determine what health interventions work and whether they provide value to our health care system.  Tammy has more than a dozen years of progressive health leadership experience, including executive and senior management positions in academic and non-for-profit environments.

Trained as a PhD Epidemiologist, Tammy is a passionate, empowering leader with an accomplished track record of producing timely, relevant, high-quality health research that supports informed policy and practice decisions within the Canadian health care system. She has developed a keen understanding of real-world evidence needs, resulting from direct involvement as a scientist and as a respected leader of inter-disciplinary teams.  Tammy is well-connected with the broader health research community, in Canada and globally. She remains actively involved in university teaching and graduate student supervision, mostly through the University of Ottawa's School of Epidemiology, Public Health & Preventive Medicine.
