NG 762 - Evidence Based Practice I

(3)

This course is aimed at developing the knowledge and skills necessary for working with individuals and patient aggregates in a secondary care setting using recovery-oriented, evidence-based practices. Students will formulate an answerable question that addresses a patient problem or situation and conduct a systematic search for research evidence that could be used to answer the question. Research evidence will be appraised for validity, relevance, and applicability to the problem and students will use research evidence to develop a plan for implementing a project to improve care through the integration of research evidence, available resources and diversity of patient populations.
