In the symposium, Dr. Yuri Kasamatsu, Associate Professor of Faculty of Global Nursing of our university, facilitated a discussion with Dr. Tomotaki and Dr. Goura on the theme of "What is needed for an organizational mechanism to implement evidence?

The seminar was conducted online, but there was a lively exchange of opinions between the participants and the presenters, and the seminar was a good opportunity for further efforts to be made by EBP organizations in Japan.
