    Here’s what MEME attendees are saying…

     

    Excellent conference! Great emphasis on evidence, helpful reminders about how to remain appropriately skeptical in medicine, and strong tools to equip physicians for shared decision making! 
    - Dr. Nathan Toh

     

    The MEME conference was highly informative and entertaining. All the presenters did an amazing job engaging the audience & keeping it lighthearted while still presenting the best available evidence. I had so much fun I forgot that I was learning too!
    - Morgan (Pharmacist)

     

    This was a fantastic conference.  I work as an old age psychiatrist in the UK and learnt so much. The course has inspired me to challenge my own and colleagues' beliefs with more confidence. I loved the sense of

    humour in the talks. Thank you so much!
    - Dr. Claire Polkinghorn

     

    So many evidence-based, practice changing pearls crammed into one entertaining conference! Loved the shorter length of talks so I could actually focus for the entire presentation!
    - Dr. Jessica Kirkwood

    I thoroughly enjoyed this conference and felt like they kept it engaging and provided up to date evidence on common topics we would see in our family practice. I also enjoyed learning more about how to approach evidence critically.
    - Marlise (Family Physician)

    We look forward to welcoming you!
