Do you want to employ more evidence in your clinical practice, but don't have the skills to effectively search for and retrieve evidence based studies? This live Zoom course, targeted to the interprofessional healthcare team, will give you tips and tricks for how to find the best evidence to improve the quality of patient care. Participants will formulate clinical questions into searchable queries and use PubMed to locate and retrieve evidence-based studies. After attending this session, clinicians will create their own literature search queries and use these queries to locate evidence-based studies in PubMed.
