Assemblies
The CTS has a wide range of clinical assemblies that allow members to engage in the development of:
- Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and knowledge translation tools
- Position statements and standards
- Educational programs and advocacy initiatives
The Assembly Model was revised in 2018 to create more a representative steering committee structure and to increase member engagement.
