An Open Invitation to individuals interested
in the epidemiology, economics, and outcomes of
therapeutic interventions to join the Canadian
Association for Population Therapeutics
The Association provides a national base for the
advancement, exchange and application of new knowledge
among leading researchers, educators and practitioners
interested in the use, economics and outcomes of
medicinal drugs and other therapeutic interventions
in populations. The Canadian Association for Population
Therapeutics (CAPT) was formalized in April 1996
in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. CAPT has evolved from
the Canadian Pharmacoepidemiology Forum (CPF). All
the interests of the CPF, such as pharmacoepidemiology,
pharmacoeconomics, drug utilization studies, adverse
drug reaction monitoring/pharmacovigilance, will
continue as part of the new Association's activities.
In a nutshell, the new Association will be concerned
with population studies on the use of medications
and devices, and on medical, surgical, preventive
and diagnostic procedures in human subjects, their
epidemiology, the outcomes and their value for money.
CAPT annual membership fees are $75.00 for individuals
and $25.00 for students. Details of corporate and
institutional membership are available on request
as well as the Terms of Reference (Kris Schindel,
CAPT, c/o Institute of Health Economics #1200, 10405

Membership benefits include:
- Eligibility for nomination to the CAPT Board
and to vote in its election
- Opportunities to participate in special task
forces, plan annual forums and interact with experts
in your own or other professions
- Opportunities to become involved in efforts to
educate decision-makers and practitioners in the
