Welcome to the 26th WONCA Europe Virtual Conference Programme Scheduling

Abstract Body

Background

Evidence based medicine is the corner stone of our medical practice: based on evidence we weigh decisions in collaboration with the patient considering the context and our experience as a contributing factor. We see a parallel with medical education. It is important to use and develop a scientific base for our medical education as a starting point for further development fed by local context and experience. By doing so we improve medical education and thus health care.

This workshop is developed in close relation with the workshop next to this workshop, entitled ‘Evidence-based education for primary care: what is going on in Europe? An excellent networking opportunity for educational research!’. The aim of that workshop is to give an overview of prevailing European educational research themes and the opportunity for networking around these themes. Our advice is to participate in both workshops. It is an excellent chance to broaden the scientific dialogue and your network.
