AH-NET-C: A JBI Centre of Excellence is pleased to offer the 2024 JBI Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program (CSRTP) in collaboration with the University of New Brunswick (UNB) Saint John Collaboration for Evidence-Informed Healthcare: A JBI Centre of Excellence. The intensive, 5-day program is designed to prepare health sciences researchers, clinicians, librarians, graduate students, and other individuals involved in quality and practice portfolios to develop, conduct and report systematic reviews of evidence.
This activity-driven program includes rigorous methods and tools to appraise and synthesize evidence from research literature and documentary sources. Participants gain hands-on experience in drafting a systematic review protocol, including defining the question(s) and the search, retrieval, and selection of research for the review. You will critically analyze sample quantitative and qualitative research and expert opinion papers as part of the review process and be introduced to JBI software (SUMARI) for performing meta-analysis and meta-synthesis of selected studies. You will also examine the nature of evidence and its role in healthcare to understand further how evidence transfers into healthcare practice.
The program will be offered based on a minimum number of attendees. Payment is required before registration can be confirmed. Class size is limited. Please email ahnetc@dal.ca for further information.
