The Alberta Ambassador Program

The Alberta Ambassador Program is a knowledge translation strategy that promotes the use of evidence to encourage and support best practice in the management of pain.

The Program is a collaboration of individuals and agencies that supports primary care practitioners in caring for patients with pain by developing knowledge and skills that reflect current research evidence.

The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Program at the Institute of Health Economics is actively engaged in the Alberta Ambassador Program and knowledge translation through comprehensive searches for research evidence, a systematic critique of the available evidence, and the synthesis of findings into information that is relevant to policy makers and practitioners.
