Dear All,

Greetings from Al-Ain the oasis city. Recently the United Arab Emirates
Ministry of health has constituted a National Committee on Evidence Based
Medicine.

"This committee shall review the existing status of EBM in the UAE, examine
the scope of EBM implementation, and develop a plan for its implementation.
The ministry of health shall provide appropriate resources for EBM
implementation".

We met a few times to draft an action plan. I am a member of the National
committee and early next week I will be presenting a talk attended by all
the 32 medical directors of hospitals across the country. I am a bit nervous
as they are senior physican adminstrators in the country and many finished
their medical training while I was in kindergarten.

I will be grateful for any tips and or relevent published articles on
presenting the concept of EBM to senior medical administrators.

Cheers & regards,

Badri
