All 3 tracks are currently fully subscribed. If you wish your name entered on a waiting list please contact: Tawana Wright including your institution and role.

Track #1: Forming Recommendations Using GRADE

The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system provides a transparent approach to rating the quality of evidence. GRADE considers patient values and preferences in the course of developing recommendations. Participants will learn to use this system. They should be individuals involved in guideline development or in defining health care policy and recommendations.

Track #2: Implementing Clinical Evidence in Care Settings

Also called "knowledge translation", implementation science skills equip participants to successfully install evidence-based policies and pathways in their care settings. Participants will learn how to systematically Identify the obstacles confronting such efforts and the means of overcoming them. They should be individuals who are involved in developing and implementing clinical policy in their care centers

Track #3: Evidence Based Individualized Care

Participants will learn how to harness the value of scientific evidence within individualized patient care. Innovative approaches to ‘traditional’ evidence-based medicine cover the full range of required skills within a practice-based framework. Skills pertaining to the patient-practitioner interaction and relationship will be emphasized. Participants should be individuals with direct responsibility for patient care and clinical education.
