Are you planning a systematic review and need guidance on how to start? The CERTaIN program at MD Anderson is inviting you to participate in a superb hands-on workshop. Experts in the field will be leading this 3-day curriculum. Don't miss out and join this excellent opportunity!
ALT This workshop introduces to systematic reviews and methods to analyze or present decisions under conditions of uncertainty (i.e., meta-analysis, decision aids, decision analysis, and methods to achieve consensus). This is a 3-day, in-person, hands-on workshop in which attendees will be required to complete individual and group activities. At the end of the workshop participants will recognize the steps for conducting systematic reviews, identify the different types of synthesis methods in a systematic review, appraise the strength of the evidence, and compare and contrast different approaches to medical-decision making. If you have questions about attending, please email: [email protected].
