How can we use the principles of evidence-based medicine to develop programs that better serve our communities? Join us on Tuesday, October 24^th from 5:00-8:30pm as we explore the program-planning process from situational/needs assessment to determining your program elements. Along the way, we’ll pay special attention to the process of setting appropriate, realistic goals and objectives. We’ll also get practical, looking at how to apply these principles when completing the Schedule A template. You’ll come out of this interactive workshop with the tools and confidence you need to make program planning easier for you, more meaningful for your team, and more effective for your patients. Developed and led by Allison Meserve, Health Promotion Consultant, Planning and Evaluation at Public Health Ontario, it builds on AFHTO’s Program Planning and Evaluation Framework. To ensure attendees get the most out of it, everyone who registers by September 15 will receive a needs assessment to complete about a month before the conference

**Please note: As space is limited, and because it is an interactive workshop, we ask teams to limit themselves to one delegate at this event.**
