Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine Association (EBVMA) is an international, non-profit (501(c)(3)) professional organization founded in 2004 with the mission of better organizing the emerging veterinary research, training, and practice of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM)—the formal strategy to integrate the best critically designed and statistically evaluated research available combined with clinical expertise as well as the unique needs or wishes of each client in clinical practice. EBVM draws from and parallels the evidence-based medicine movement in human medicine.[1][2]

The EBVMA website asserts:

Evidence-based veterinary medicine is the formal strategy to integrate the best research evidence available combined with clinical expertise as well as the unique needs or wishes of each client in clinical practice. Much of this is based on results from research studies that have been critically-designed and statistically evaluated.

Organization

[edit]

The EBVMA governance model includes a Board of Directors (president, president-elect, immediate past president, executive secretary and treasurer, chair of web presence committee), and an Executive Committee composed of six regional directors.
