WHO ARE WE?
The Canadian Association for Population Therapeutics (CAPT-ACTP) is a not-for-profit, membership-based organization dedicated to advancing population-based research in therapeutic interventions. Our diverse community includes scientists, researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, academic professionals, consultants, and patient representatives who work together to address key challenges in population health, therapeutics, health interventions, and evidence generation in Canada.
One of CAPT’s flagship initiatives is our annual conference, a premier event that brings together government policymakers, academic researchers, industry representatives, consultants, patients, and other key stakeholders. This gathering serves as a vital platform for the open exchange of ideas, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing on critical topics, including drug access, health economics, and the use and effects of medications.
Through our conference and year-round initiatives, CAPT fosters an inclusive and collaborative environment, where members engage in scientific discussions, drive innovation, and contribute to evidence-based policymaking to improve healthcare outcomes for all Canadians.

STRATEGIC GOALS
As a primarily volunteer-driven organization, we are dedicated to advancing the study of the effectiveness, safety, utilization, and economic impact of medications, vaccines, medical devices, emerging innovations, and complementary medicines that influence the health and well-being of Canadian populations. Guided by ongoing consultation with our members, partners, and key stakeholders, we aim to:
- Foster Scientific Excellence – Provide a premier forum for the reporting, critical discussion, and dissemination of data derived from population-based studies of drugs and other therapeutic interventions.
- Advance Methodological Innovation – Support the development and refinement of methodologies and resources essential for the rigorous study of therapeutic interventions.
- Empower Evidence-Based Decision-Making – Serve as a trusted information resource for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding therapeutic interventions.
- Shape Public Health Policy – Advocate for policies that enhance the responsible use of therapeutic interventions and contribute to the improvement of public health outcomes.
By driving collaboration, innovation, and knowledge translation, we strive to influence meaningful advancements in population therapeutics and healthcare policy in Canada.
