EBM and continuous medical education

How can we do a better job in the digital age than what public institutions, universities and libraries did in the past? How do we make the best available information about healthcare interventions easily accessible to a large mass of health professionals and speed up the diffusion of EBM? I will describe the realities and potentials of continuous medical education combined with e‐learning systems. I will also challenge The Cochrane Collaboration for its sometimes too zealous work and will propose new opportunities and commitments to support the lifelong learning needs of the health professionals. Many issues are at stake. It is a business issue, it concerns quality of the contents, it needs dedicated funding, and it affects the diverse interests of a variety of stakeholders.
