New Internet based Masters Programme in EBM and HTA
---------------------------------------------------

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 (HTA). EBM is the inte-
gration of best available findings from research with clinical exper-
tise and and patient values.

HTA is the integration of EBM with the social, ethical and economic im-
plications of the diffusion and use of health interventions/technology.

EBM and HTA deal with the equipment, devices and drugs, the medical and 
surgical procedures used in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and reha-
bilitation of disease, as well as the organisational and support sys-
tems needed to provide health care.

This programme addresses critical issues in health care and is targeted 
at the following groups:

- Clinicians/practitioners/researchers
- Health managers/administrators/planners
- Health policy makers
- Nurses

This distance learning programme is run by the Department of Public 
Health Sciences at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm in close collabora-
tion with SBU (The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health 
Care), and CMT (Center for Medical Technology Assessment at Linköping 
University, Sweden).

Professor Egon Jonsson, SBU and Karolinska Institutet; 
Professor Leif Svanström, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karo-
linska Institutet.
