I am booked to give an introductory talk to two groups of general
practitioners in this part of England, East Anglia. The first is a group of
GPs attending an annual refresher course, the second a group of trainers and
their trainees (called registrars in England). Both groups contain
individuals hostile to EBM (though none have had direct exposure, I
suspect).
My plan is to use *educational aikido* - that is, let them attack and I will
use their own force or weight to floor them. I believe I can predict what
they will say and so have some examples to give to illustrate that EBM is
not the monster they believe and that it can help answer questions that
arise in general practice.
I have never done this before so I wonder if any of you have experience I
could benefit from?
