KEYNOTE: Antony Singleton and Maryth Yachnin – Authors of Bad Medicine – A report on the WSIB’s transformation of its health care spending. The report’s authors will present their findings of an in depth study of the WSIB’s provision of one form of benefits: health care. Focus is given to three main categories: prescription drugs, health care strategy, and permanent impairment awards.

Thursday April 26th – 9am to 5pm
This full day will feature panel discussions on linking with health care providers, the WSIB’s new chronic mental stress policy, and adjudication of complicated health issues. As always, the event will feature presentations from a mix of researchers, legal experts, and people with lived experience. Q&A sessions and focused smaller group discussions will provide space for attendees to participate in the event.
