In the past 15 years, the APEBMN has attracted participants from a wide variety of backgrounds including clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, occupational therapists, dentists, and other health-care professionals all over the region. As one of the premier evidence-based medicine (EBM) workshops in Asia Pacific, it caters for all levels of learners, from the EBM novice to teachers of EBM. Our learner-centred and interactive small group sessions as well as enthralling lectures have benefited many participants. We are also honoured to have the world renowned expert in EBM, Professor Gordon Guyatt from McMaster University, as well as experts from Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Philippines.
