GP Synergy EBM Online Course

I have been working on an online EBM and critical appraisal teaching program for GP registrars at GP Synergy this year.  The online course is finally complete!

This program will take 4-5 hours to complete, but is divided into a number of separate modules. The modules use an online presentation platform, and you will need a modern browser (e.g., Firefox 7+, Chrome 14+, Safari, Internet Explorer 9+) on a Windows PC or Mac. Your computer will need broadband internet access.

This program uses elements from the free online course; Understanding Evidence-Based Healthcare: A Foundation for Action – Course for Physicians, that is developed and maintained by the US Cochrane Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Special acknowledgement must go to the Center who gave permission for their course to be used. You should feel free to complete the entire Cochrane Center course if you want more detailed teaching in evidence-based medicine.

I welcome any comments that will help improve this teaching resource.
