Dear Dr. Stuart and Ms. Strite,

Thank you for the presentation you made on November 29, 2004 to the California Office of Administrative Hearings' administrative law judges on evidence-based medicine. It was very well received. The information was provided in a concise and readily understandable manner. The judges now have a new and valuable tool to assist them in appraising the medical evidence that is submitted in the hearings over which they preside.

I can highly recommend the instruction you make available through the Delfini Group. I believe that your presentation on evidence-based medicine would also be of great interest and use to other groups, such as state agencies that license health care professionals, both government and private attorneys who practice in the area of health care, and those individuals who testify as medical experts.
