Understanding Evidence-based Healthcare: A Foundation for Action
Consumers United for Evidence-based Healthcare (CUE) and the US Cochrane Center have developed an online course ”Understanding Evidence-based Healthcare: A Foundation for Action.
Free registration is available on the course site. You can also send an e-mail to ccnetcontact@cochrane.de.
This web course has been created by the United States Cochrane Center as part of a project undertaken by Consumers United for Evidence-based Healthcare (CUE), and is designed to help consumer advocates understand the fundamentals of evidence-based healthcare concepts and skills.
Course Objectives:
Our goals in this course are to provide consumer advocates with the tools they need to:
- Successfully navigate the world of medical information,
- Critically appraise research studies,
- Influence the creation of responsible public policy in healthcare,
- Help the people they serve to make healthcare choices based on the best available evidence.
The course is free. I received the information as a member of the Cochrane Consumer Network.
