Utveggio Castle, Palermo (Italy), 10–14 September, 2003
Hosted by GIMBE and CERISDI with institutional support of Arcispedale S.
Maria Nuova, CASP International Network, Oxford-Centre for Evidence-based
Medicine, Ludwig Maximilian University, University of Bristol
The need for health professionals to learn to access and understand
evidence has become ever larger with the increasing volume of health care
research.
The first conference of evidence-based healthcare developers and
teachers took place on the 12 September 2001. This landmark event enabled
the international exchange of experience and knowledge and the exploration
of contemporary experiments and developments. It was made possible by the
emergence of the GIMBE.
EBHC is being taught around the world in diverse settings, but the
problems faced by teachers are very similar. The processes for teaching
and their evaluation were shared in plenaries, small groups and informal
discussion.
The 2nd international conference of evidence-based healthcare teachers
& developers builds on that first experience and shifts the focus to
the future: the theme is sign posting directions to developing tools and
strategies to support teaching and implementing EBHC and to future
research.
We are confident that our invitation in Sicily will be appreciated by
the international community of EBHC developers & teachers, so to
enable us to put up a good scientific meeting in an atmosphere not only as
warm as expected in a Mediterranean country, but also very rich in
cultural stimuli.
The Conference Steering Committee:
Amanda Burls, Nino Cartabellotta, Martin Dawes, John Geddes, Paul Glasziou,
Kev Hopayan, Janet Martin, James Osborne, Franz Porzsolt, Bill Summerskill
