Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, offers a new internet based distance-learning programme for a Masters degree in Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) and Health Technology Assessment.
EBM is the integration of best available findings from research with clinical expertise and and patient values.

- Health policy makers

This distance learning programme is run by the Department of Public Health Sciences at  Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm in close collaboration
