Celebrate a decade of Choosing Wisely Canada at our National Meeting on April 15 & 16, 2024 in Montreal, Quebec! Be a part of the anniversary celebration by submitting your Choosing Wisely initiatives and innovative approaches to be considered for concurrent breakout sessions.

How to showcase your Choosing Wisely efforts:

1. Submit an abstract:
   • Submit an abstract on Choosing Wisely initiatives and innovative approaches based on the following themes:
     • Quality Improvement/Implementation (e.g., interventions, health policy, interprofessional collaboration, deprescribing)
     • Measurement and Evaluation (e.g., administrative data, trends in low-value care, impact of intervention on low-value care)
     • Medical Education
     • Patient Engagement
     • Environmental sustainability (reducing low-value care can avoid harm to patients and the planet)
     • Appropriate Prescribing
     • Abstracts will be accepted in English and French. Relevant abstracts will be published in a digital abstract book and considered for in-person presentations in concurrent breakout sessions.

2. Tell Us Your Success Story:
