Introduction to Task Teams (TT)

The National & Gulf Center for Evidence Based Medicine (NGCEBM)has been recognized as the referral EBM center for Saudi Arabia & Gulf region since May 2004. Since then there was enormous increase in activities and tasks that the center conducted not only allover the KSA but also across the region. Several tasks with different perspective were requested from the center. The NGCEBM executive board felt that it is highly required to have more EBM proponents to be able to accomplish this important mission. Last month, we completed the identification of the tasks required and we are now formulating multiple task teams (TT). Each TT will carry out the responsibility of the development and implementation of one specific EBM-related task with a national and regional scope.
