QMed’s dream is to see that every human takes responsibility for his or her health by understanding what works best to stay healthy and to manage diseases or health conditions. Doctors and health professionals need to know how to find the best evidence, and then use their clinical learning, expertise and judgment, along with the best evidence, to treat patients. Consumers and patients also need to learn how to find the best evidence and then discuss their treatment options with their doctors. Doctors and consumers should ideally work together, using the best available evidence to make decisions.
This year was very special for QMed, as we completed five years in December 2012. The five years have been a period of steady growth and achievements. Having delivered around more than 100 lectures and also detailed workshops, on searching for literature and evidence, to an audience of more than 8000 health professionals and students, we feel poised to reach out to a much larger target. During this year, we took stock of the situation and did a lot of important activities, as well as planning.
This year we have trained more than 1500 people. We have conducted around 50 training programs & lectures for PubMed, Cochrane Library & UpToDate across the country in various cities like Ahmedabad, Ambala, Bangalore, Calicut, Chandigarh, Chennai, Dehra Dun, Hyderabad, Kalwa, Kanpur, Khandala, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna & Pune.
