Canadian Healthcare Optimization Workshop (CHOW)

The goals of the workshop are to provide a forum for researchers with a common interest in healthcare optimization and to promote the research of young scholars, with the aim of networking and sharing the latest advances with other researchers in the field.

We invite young academic scholars (doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and non-tenured faculty) to submit working or research papers for presentation and discussion at the workshop. Published papers and papers under review will not be accepted. The acceptance decision will be based on full paper submissions, which will undergo a review by a panel of experts. The papers can be analytical or empirical, methodological or applied.

Presentations will be scheduled in a single track. For each presentation there are two participants – one young scholar of the same rank and one senior researcher – who will act as discussants and provide feedback. In addition to the presentations of young scholars, there will be a tutorial and a panel discussion.
