Event speakers included Dr David Nunan – Director, MSc in EBHC Teaching and Education and PG Certificate in Teaching Evidence-Based Health Care; Professor Rod Jackson - Professor of Epidemiology, University of Auckland; Dr Annette Plüddemann - Director, MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care; and Professor Kamal Mahtani - Director, MSc in EBHC Systematic Review, all of whom have played a key role in TEBM over the years.
Each shared their own EBM educator’s journey, the influential impact of the teaching EBM course, and the privilege and honour of being part of the learning journey of their students. One particularly funny anecdote was shared by Rod, who said that he went down the evidence-based road to 'keep students awake’.
Sir Muir Grey spoke about how the course had been defined by inspirational people in the past, such as Dr David Sackett who Muir supported David moving to the UK in 1994 to set up the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.
As part of the celebration, David announced ‘The Teaching Evidence-Based Medicine (TEBM) 30th Anniversary Global Award’ donation from the McCall MacBain Foundation to mark the occasion. Further details on this award will be made available soon.
