Description

Evidence plays a vital role in practice (Myers et al., 2019). However, many healthcare professionals lack the foundational skills to critically appraise the literature (Odierna et al., 2015). How many times has something been reported leaving the reader wondering if the information is truly accurate? As a means to stimulate curiosity and quell burnout, this short course aims to provide guidance on how to interpret the literature using the available tools to conduct a rapid systematic review. Upon completion, the learner will have the knowledge and confidence to justify if the intervention is effective for application.
