The aim of the course is to introduce the field of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and guidelines for public health, which are an important part of the healthcare process. The objectives of the course reflect the purpose and main goals of CPGs, which are to ensure and measure the quality of health care. Thus, CPGs are an important tool for improving quality and providing safe health care.

- assisting physicians and patients in decision making

- measuring and assuring the quality of healthcare
