Course delivery
Key concepts and methods of EBM are presented and discussed in formal teaching sessions held by the methodological tutor Elisabetta Versino and an expert librarian.
Clinical cases are presented in the first session and students choose a clinical case to be solved in a group of 6-8 students
Workgroups meet the librarian, clinical and methological tutor each time it is neccessary (email contact)
Workgroups present their work orally through a ppt presentation and then submit a written paper to the clinical methodological tutor.
Deadlines will be defined during the first lesson
