"I found the intellectual environment to be very collegial, but also very rigorous. It was the perfect complement to my prior experience in EBM, providing both practical tools and renewed enthusiasm to effectively teach EBM in my chief residency and beyond."

"This was the most helpful conference I have ever attended. I wasn't sure what to expect, and was quite anxious about the topic. I left feeling like EBCP was within my grasp, and excited to design a new EBM curriculum for our resident trainees."

“The Teaching EBCP workshop at McMaster is great! You get to spend an entire week with individuals from around the globe who share a common interest with you. I learned several new, clever techniques for teaching EBCP to my learners.”

"The "How to Teach EBM" workshop at McMaster University was one of, if not the best, medical meeting I have attended in my 20 years of clinical practice. What made this workshop so good was the clear focus on how to teach EBM concepts and the use of small group learning experiences to solidify key EBM concepts. I was in one of the family practice groups and we had outstanding tutors and an excellent tutor trainee. We had a wonderful mix of medical providers and pharmacists as well as an excellent librarian resource. The collegial attitude amongst our group members was a key element in making the experience a success. This workshop was just that - a workshop i.e. heavy on participation in the small group sessions through developing presentations on key EBM concepts and presenting these to our group. Overall, an excellent workshop and one I would highly recommend to colleagues."
