What is Putting Evidence into Practice?

Evidence-based practice involves applying evidence to clinical and policy decision making. Critical appraisal provides the tools to assess the quality of evidence in the medical literature and to determine the risks and benefits of different management strategies. Through this trans-disciplinary workshop participants will work through relevant examples in order to develop skills in searching for and identifying appropriate evidence, critically appraising the evidence, and applying the evidence to your area of expertise.

 

Whether you are interested in learning more about knowledge synthesis or enhancing your critical appraisal skills, you will benefit from the expertise of your group's facilitators and librarian. Small groups will focus on different methods for knowledge synthesis, and different levels and topics of critical appraisal. Participants from all disciplines and all learning levels will benefit from this workshop.

 

 There are several small groups to choose from:

• Critical Appraisal ~ Basic, Intermediate and Advanced
• Critical Appraisal of Economic Evaluations
• Systematic Reviews
• Advanced Methods for Systematic Reviews
• GRADE
• Rapid Reviews
• Knowledge Translation
