CADTH Lecture Series — Dr. Michael Burgess

The CADTH Lecture Series provides prominent scholars and opinion leaders with a forum to discuss pressing issues facing health technology assessment (HTA) and health care today.

Join the CADTH Lecture Series for the last session before the holidays. The lecture, Is Deliberative Public Engagement Worth the Trouble?, will be hosted by Dr. Michael Burgess, Professor, W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics, School of Population and Public Health.

Deliberative public engagement is expensive, labour-intensive, and produces knowledge that is limited in scope and extensibility. That said, if decisions about drugs are to be informed by diverse public perspectives, with citizens considering how they would balance fair decision-making with persistent substantive disagreement, then deliberative engagement is the only approach to consider.
