About the Workshop
Evidence-based medicine is the process of life-long, self-directed learning in which caring for patients leads to the search for, critical appraisal, and incorporation into practice of valid and clinically important information about diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and other clinical and health-care issues.
After the workshop, participants should be able to:
- capture and formulate answerable clinical questions
- search effectively for primary evidence, guidelines and other resources
- critically appraise evidence about treatment, prognosis, diagnosis and aetiology for its validity and applicability
Presenters
Librarian Sarah Thorning will assist you in hands-on practice to fast and efficient searching strategies to find the evidence.
