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.
