Join your leadership colleagues from across the health care sector for the Learning Health System Leadership Centre Conference.
About this Event

This event brings together senior leaders from across Canada and around the world: the executives, clinicians, and system leaders shaping the future of health care.

Across a full day, the program moves from the intelligence and infrastructure that let a system learn, to the community innovation that keeps people well, to the catalysts that turn evidence into action, grounded throughout in global proof points of what works. It is a day about readiness: what it takes to lead with courage, move without mandates, and build under pressure.
