Attendees represented clinical sciences (83% of attendees), public health disciplines (11%) and included a few basic scientists. They were a broad mix of physicians (53%), PhDs (35%), MD/PhDs (5%) and others, ranging from trainees (5%) to young investigators (37%), senior investigators or clinicians (34%), speakers (22%) and others. Twenty-four evaluators gave an overall rating of 4.2 out of 5, with 19 of 24 stating that they would change their practice as a result of attendance.
