This course is designed for participants to become familiar with basic concepts of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and how it applies to everyday practice. In this course participants will be introduced to the five core steps of EBM. The most common study designs that inform diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and etiology will be explored. It is hoped that this course would deepen your understanding of EBM, and you would be able to apply EBM in clinical practice. At the end of the course, you should feel more comfortable with searching, interpreting, and appraising the medical literature. Online resources, forums and online quizzes for each topic will be used to deliver this 100% online course.<\/p>\n
