This episode, we chat with Nisha Almeida about her role as a Research Scientist at McGill University's Health Technology Assessment Unit. Nisha tells us about how she helps hospital administration evaluate the value of new health technologies and interventions using the best available scientific evidence. We also talk about conflicting goals between physicians and the importance of end-of-life care.
