Information overload is changing all areas of medicine, including medical education and clinical practice. Now, more than ever, it is critical for medical educators and clinicians to be prepared for the challenge of teaching and practicing Evidence-Based Medicine. For this reason, we invite you to attend an innovative 4-day workshop designed to help clinical leaders and educators enhance their EBM skills.

Workshop objectives include: Train leaders in medicine to facilitate evidence-based clinical practice in their teaching and practice settings.
