What are your clinical needs as a primary care provider?
The Centre for Effective Practice (CEP) needs your help to select topics to inform their tool development process. What areas of patient care do you believe need clinical tools (e.g. decision aid, medication algorithm or evidence summary)? What topics interest you and would serve your needs as a primary care provider?
Make your voice heard by participating in a short survey. It only takes five minutes and your answers will directly inform the clinical tools developed this year. All individual responses will remain anonymous.
The CEP develops new clinical tools each year based on feedback from primary care providers such as yourself. All of the clinical tools and resources can be freely accessed on cep.health.
