Free Course for NASS Members; $300 Nonmembers

NASS, in conjunction with the University of Alberta’s Centre for Health Evidence (CHE), has developed an online, interactive educational program based on content from the Users’ Guides to the Medical Literature.  This online, self-directed training program covers the basics of evidence-based medicine and evidence-analysis.  The course is designed to help practitioners improve their ability to find, appraise and use evidence appearing in the health sciences literature. Critical appraisal is explored within an "Evidence-Based Practice" conceptual framework where the focus is on whether and how evidence should change health practices.  Completion of the online program takes 10-30 hours (depending on how quickly you move through the modules) and up to 30 hours of CME credit will be awarded upon completion.  Registered participants will have six months to complete the online program.

If you have any questions relative to the Online EBM Training Program, please contact Karen James, Assistant Manager of Research.
