The forum on evidence based practice in physical therapy will be held at the constituent college of Gulf Medical University on February 28 at its campus in Ajman from 9am to 1:30pm.

The conference also offers professionals and physical therapists an opportunity to determine the extent to which EBP can be used as a way for professional development and standardisation of therapeutic intervention.

Participants will also be provided with the information and tools needed to appreciate the philosophy, history, and value of evidence-based practice, understand what constitutes evidence, search efficiently for applicable evidence in the literature, evaluate the findings in the literature, and integrate the evidence with clinical judgement and individual patient preferences and values.
