CDEN 701 Clinical Scientific Inquiry

Credits: 1
Clinical Scientific Inquiry aims to provide the framework and supporting literature for understanding the background for, principles, and value of evidence based dentistry (EBD). In this course, students will focus on practical skills to develop relevant clinical questions in the PICO format and to develop the ability to search for, critically review and apply scientific literature to answer these questions. Students will learn a broad array of concepts that will be of use in your continued professional life, such as, CONSORT and PRISMA guidelines, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Critically Appraised Topics (CATs), and journal impact factors. Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their practical skills through session related exercises and by presenting their CAT to their peers.
