Course overview

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of best available evidence combined with patient preferences, available resources and therapist expertise in negotiating patient care. Evidence-based health care requires physiotherapists to be able to perform the five steps of evidence-based practice previously studied. In this course students will further apply their EBP skills to provide peer review. This will enable students to further develop the necessary skills to perform evidence-based practice, while gaining a greater understanding of the peer review process and contributing to a valuable evidence-based resource.

Course learning outcomes

  • Identify research topics that will enhance clinical knowledge and systematically locate evidence
  • Critically appriase relevant research studies to determine the risk of bias and how this might influence the research findings
  • Integrate and critically interpret research findings and justify answers to clinical research questions
  • Communicate the process and findings of your review via a range of media
