Clinical Trials at the Speed of COVID-19

Apr 08, 2022 |

The Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences (CHÉOS) in partnership with the UBC School of Population and Public Health (SPPH), presents the first in a symposium series dedicated to discussing clinical trials that are timely, responsive and adaptive to emergent health emergencies.

In 2020, a novel coronavirus began to spread across the world, and saving lives meant acting quickly. New vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics had to be identified and tested in record time. Please join us for a conversation about lessons learned, challenges faced, and potential opportunities to mobilize a rapid response for the next global health crisis.

Our fight with COVID-19 is not over, but preparing for the future starts now.
