2025 Call for Nominations: Health Technology Expert Review Panel

Health Technology Expert Review Panel

We are seeking 1 health technology assessment (HTA) specialist member to serve on our Health Technology Expert Review Panel (HTERP). HTERP is an advisory body that develops guidance and recommendations for our projects related to health technologies, including medical devices, diagnostic tests, clinical interventions, and complex health system interventions such as models and programs of care. It provides guidance that considers the outputs and impact of our work in meeting the needs of federal, provincial, and territorial governments, and those working in the health care systems in Canada.

If you have significant experience working in the health care systems in Canada, are interested in helping support health care decision-makers in making informed choices about health technologies, and are passionate about ensuring that the health care systems in Canada are the best they can be, we encourage you to submit a nomination.

We seek to maintain expert and advisory committees composed of talented and dedicated individuals with diverse perspectives, skills, and backgrounds, and recognize that experience may be gained through a combination of activities, including — but not limited to — employment, volunteering, community engagement, and advocacy work.

Qualifications and Eligibility

The HTERP health technology assessment specialist brings the perspective and knowledge of health care systems in Canada and an understanding of the procurement and use of health technologies within the context of Canada, and has experience or advanced training in HTA methods and processes. Experience with health policy development, health policy implementation, or health care administration is considered an asset.

We encourage candidates who have experience working in rural or remote health care systems to submit a nomination.

For more detailed information on qualifications and eligibility, please review the HTERP Member Role Description.

Time Commitment

Each year, HTERP meets regularly, in person or virtually, as determined by the need for guidance or recommendations. This typically amounts to monthly meetings (including 1 or 2 in-person meetings, which will take place in Ottawa or Toronto). Virtual meetings are typically 3-hour meetings, and in-person meetings are full-day meetings. Approximately 1 half-day per month is expected to be spent on preparation in advance of meetings.

Term of Appointment

HTERP members are appointed for a term of 3 years. Terms may be renewed once at the discretion of the President and CEO.

Remuneration

Members are eligible to receive remuneration in accordance with the organization’s Remuneration of Board and Committee Members policy. Remuneration will be paid to the individual and is subject to deductions for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and income taxes. Members will receive a T4 each year for tax purposes.

Any reasonable travel costs for HTERP or other organizational activities will be reimbursed in accordance with the organization’s Travel Policy.
