The Alberta Innovative Trials and Health Research Methods Symposium brings together the health research community to share experiences and strategies for designing, conducting, and analyzing innovative trials that improve health and health systems in Canada and beyond.

This year's theme, Exploring Person-Centered Decision Support: Where Clinical Intelligence Meets Compassionate Care, will showcase leading-edge research, foster collaboration, and highlight how innovative methods can support better decisions and more meaningful patient outcomes.
