2.      To provide custom EBM courses in health care institute based on their needs.

3.      To plan for a future “Gulf EBM Website”.

4.      Assigning specific tasks to members who have special interests and / or expertise in specific areas of EBM. Each of these members will be available to others as a resource in that specific area (e.g., Systematic reviews, Economic analysis, Clinical trials). This aims to help in improving and updating members in EBM topics. In addition it will enable those who want to learn in more depth specific areas of evidence-based research. It will also help those with special interests to improve their knowledge in that area.

5.       Generating subspecialty groups that can help provide Evidence-based Information to Health Care Providers in the same specialty (e.g., Primary Care, Ob/Gynecology, Neurosurgery, Diabetology).
