SMDM Innovate: From CEA to BCA and Beyond: Benefit-Cost Analysis Concepts, Application, and Challenges

06 March 2026

SMDM Innovate brings you "From CEA to BCA and Beyond: Benefit-Cost Analysis Concepts, Application, and Challenges". In this 1.5-hour webinar, we will compare cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and benefit-cost analysis (BCA), highlighting how they measure health outcomes, value benefits, guide decisions, and incorporate equity—key considerations as public health policies increasingly extend beyond the health care system.

Submit a Course Proposal

This form is for Virtual short courses, not for proposing short courses for the Annual MeetingWhile courses may be submitted for both, title and content should not be exactly the same, and SMDM will work to schedule an in-person course prior to a virtual course if they feature similar content and the same instructor(s). Virtual Short Course proposals are reviewed by the SMDM Education Committee. Scheduling of short courses involves many considerations, however if your course is not immediately selected it will be held on our potential course list for the future.
