CMTF Working Groups

These groups advance the strategic aims of CMTF through activities that are geared towards specific health care settings and populations (adults and children), such as hospitals, primary/community care, long term care, and food. Other ad hoc working groups or teams are established to work on special projects or research activities. All groups generally consist of clinicians, academics, professional leaders and other experts specific to each area or project. See list of CMTF Working Groups here
