Module V: Evidence-based Medicine (EBM)
Overview
This seminar aims to provide the students with the essential skills of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), i.e., formulating clinical questions (e.g., PICO), building search strategies, critical appraisal of most common medical study designs (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, and case reports), and interpreting forest plots. In addition, the students should be independently able to evaluate the quality of systematic reviews based on the recent recommendations of Cochrane & JBI.
